C5 C5/G C5/A C5/E
Life is made out of cells
C5/F C5 Dm
Cells make copies of themselves (copies of themselves)
C5/F C5 Dm
And they make copies of themselves (and they make copies of themselves)
C5/F C5 Dm
And they make copies of themselves
Bdim Bdim/D Bdim/F Bdim/D
Different cells have different jobs
F Gsus4
But they all have one thing in common
C Dm C/E Dm C F C F
Inside of every cell is a twisted ladder
F C F C G Gadd2 G Gadd2
A recipe for life called DNA
C F C
The directions are written out in the ladder's rungs
F
Where they can be found
F C/E Dm G7 C F C F
In every cell of everything that lives
C F C F
A cell knows what it has to do
To grow into some moss or a shrew
Algae or a kangaroo
Bug or a sunflower
Dwight David Eisenhower
A frog, a fish or you
Cells are small, too small to see
But together they can make a tree
Within the cell there's a tiny spiral staircase
That tells the cell just how it's going to grow
The instructions are spelled out in letters
One on every step
In a language that the cell knows how to read
Inside the cell is a tiny double helix
Another fancy word for DNA
Which could also be a spiral staircase
Which could also be a twisted ladder
Which could also be a spring
Which could also be a spiral staircase
Which could also be a twisted ladder
Or a crazy looking spring
