Da Da Darwin

A
Young Charles was set to follow in the footsteps of his father,
A gentleman and doctor by profession.
‘Twas family tradition for his grandfather before him,
Was asked to be King George the Third’s physician.

From gentleman theologist to famous evolutionist.
Naturalist, zoologist, geologist and botanist!

B

Da  – da, Darwin, da  –  da, Darwin!
[Repeat] 

C
Rattling down an’ stamp and go, rattle them winches oh! [clap clap] [Repeat]

D
So, Darwin quickly learned he couldn’t cut it as a surgeon,
The author of the origin, the origin, the origin,
The merest sight of blood made him feel queasy!
The author of the origin, the Origin of Species.
Instead he chose to focus on the study of religion,
The author of the origin, the origin, the origin,
A subject that he liked and found quite easy.
The author of the origin, the Origin of Species.

E
Da da da da da…

F
Rattling down an’ stamp and go, rattle them winches oh!  [clap clap]
Darwin, Charles Darwin, awesome anthropologist.
Rattling down an’ stamp and go, rattle them winches oh! [clap clap]
Darwin, Charles Darwin, a man of class.
[Repeat]

A five year voyage followed, “All aboard the good ship Beagle!”
“All hands on deck and a yo heave-ho, let’s rattle them winches!”
Poor Darwin he was seasick, bleugh! But goodness it was worth it,
When first he saw the tortoises and finches.

Seasick sailor, trailblazer,
Seasick
Author of, the author of the Origin of Species.
Author of the Origin
The Origin of Species.
 Of species

From Salvador to Rio, down the coast to Maldonado,
The author of the origin, the origin, the origin.
Where Gauchos helped him ride and to explore, explore.
The author of the origin, the Origin of Species.
Revealing hidden fossils on the coast of Patagonia,
The author of the origin, the origin, the origin.
Exotic plants and animals galore, galore!
The author of the origin, the Origin of Species.
