That Spells Dna

We start the story when Mom met Dad\nAnd they danced all night and he took her home\nIt might have been all the wine they had\nBut they rolled the dice and won your genome\nThen you grew and you grew and one day you were you\nAnd you looked like your father and mother\nIf you’re looking for someone convenient to blame\nYou can take your pick it’s one or the other\nDNA, you’re in my heart\nDNA, in fact you’re in every part of my body\nEach cell has a nucleus, each nucleus has chromosomes\nAnd DNA, baby, that spells DNA\nGuanine met Cytosine, fell in love\nAnd then Thymine got busy with Adenine\nThey sent the messenger-RNA\nTo the ribosome to make more protein\nAnd while it’s killing you dead it will mess with your head\nAnd it’s the light in the dark that will guide you\nIt’s the pages and pages of what you are like\nIn the giant book that’s hidden inside you\nDNA, you’re in my heart\nDNA, in fact you’re in every part of my body\nEach cell has a nucleus, each nucleus has chromosomes\nAnd DNA, baby, that spells DNA\nIf it says TGGTCGAAC\nThen you might get the cancer\nIf it says GTCACGACAGG\nThen you shouldn’t eat shrimp or nuts\nIf it says TATACACATATCCTCGT\nThen you’ll probably wish that you didn’t know\nThe time will come when you’re almost gone\nAnd you try to guess but you’ll never know\nYou do your best and you soldier on\nEvery day you’re here till it’s time to go\nAll the good things and bad that you do or don’t have\nYou can find out for sure if you got ‘em\nBut there’s a spiraling staircase that you’re falling down\nAnd you’re nothing but dead at the bottom\nDNA, you’re in my heart\nDNA, in fact you’re in every part of my body\nEach cell has a nucleus, each nucleus has chromosomes\nAnd DNA, baby, that spells DNA
