This song is about evolution, it is designed to educate all ages, and so I have twinned it with a sequence from a famous educational animation that you can see in full here. Said animation was released in 1971, and so was being produced in the same year I was, which I think is a nice touch.
Lyrics below the fold.
LYRICS – ‘Darwin Again’ by Tim Ireland
(Sung to ‘You Win Again’ by The Bee Gees)
I couldn’t figure out
Why you went and gave me these
new mutated genes
Didn’t know you’d let me
hand them down
To my babies
Find out
everybody grows
according to their scene
I’m surprised my kind are still around
One day I’m gonna have to make another
That looks and sounds like me
They gotta be a little different, though
Characteristically
It’s not right
You can’t fight
This battle of life you see
Darwin again!
So over time
we do nothing but compete
There’s new life
on earth
New qualities
see me through
Darwin again!
Some never try
But if anybody can, we can
So I’ll win
Survivin’
Much longer than you!
Oh girl
New world
Babies!
A species from now on
I’m gonna
outlive my ancestors
one by one
I’m gonna conquer
and divide
Spread my gene pool
far and wide
Nobody stops
biology
breaking through
You better beware
I swear
I’m gonna
rise above my peers
It’s really strange
to remain unchanged
for eighteen million years!
It’s not right
You can’t fight
This battle of life you see
Darwin again!
So over time
we do nothing but compete
There’s new life
on earth
New qualities
see me through
Darwin again!
Some never try
But if anybody can, we can
So I’ll win
Survivin’
Longer than you!
(New world)
Darwin again!
So over time
we do nothing but compete
There’s new life
on earth
New qualities
see me through
Darwin again!
Some never try
But if anybody can, we can
Darwin again!
So over time
we do nothing but compete
There’s new life
on earth
New qualities
see me through
Darwin again!
Some never try
But if anybody can, we can
