Bell’s ringing: ding dong, c-lang c-lang c-lang
Welcome, kids, to Science Class today!

Oh, life came from a stream (ka-boom)
After a mass of rock exploded up above (ka-boom)
And formed the solar systems space was barren of
Light began to gleam and dart
(What’s that? What’s that again? “ka-boom” and tell me what happened again?)

Long ago it seems (ka-boom)
The earth was covered with a thick primordial soup (ka-boom)
Some anaerobic cells amassed and formed a group
(and) then began to split apart.

And in time, they grew into
Creatures with some kind of spine (back-back-back-back-backbone)
Tons of fossils prove it’s true
Schools of fish, all different kinds

Then along a string (of) (ka-boom)
Specific sequences of random chance events,* (ka-boom)
The evolution of most everything commenced
In ocean depths, we had our start

ka-boom ka-boom: Epopelagic, Mesopelagic**
Boom, ka-boom: Bathypelagic, (A)bbysopelagic
Boom, ka-boom: all the way down to Hadopelagic, Boom!

Soon, ka-boom! Glaciers were warmed and some mountains were formed
ka-boom ka-boom: (The) sea level changed and the land re-arranged
ka-boom ka-boom: (are) you getting all this, ‘cause there will be a quiz -- ka-boom!

After fish and insects came
Reptiles, and dinosaurs, too
And the primates that science says
(Could) be Uncle Bob and Aunt Lou

It’s a funny thing (ka-boom)
to think of wearing fur and carrying a club (ka-boom)
And grunting incoherently at those you love
Doodling on walls for art

(insert prehistoric Caveman gibberish)

Did you ever dream
That all the people on the earth like me and you
Descended from a single scoop of primal goo?
Life came from a stream, sweethearts



*This is an actual quote from a life science website on the subject. It struck me funny.

** The zones of the ocean, which I learned from “Finding Nemo”. Who says TV isn’t educational?
