La-la-la, DNA plan! (yeah!)
In the dark of the cell,
there’s a master plan,
Bigger than stars, smaller than sand.
A twisted ladder, a secret code,
Down the double helix road.
Four little
letters, A, T, C,
G, Writing the story of you and me.
Unwind the strands, let the magic start,
Right from the brain to the
beating heart. It’s a tiny spark,
it’s a giant leap,
Promises that our bodies keep!
Oh, make me! Code me!
Build me from the start!
Cell by cell, and part by part.
A spiral staircase, scaling high,
Underneath the microscopic sky.
Oh, make me! Real and true!
Made from the old,
brand new!
Ribose and phosphate hold the frame,
Every single protein knows its name.
RNA steps in to read the script,
Not a single detail gets skipped.
A tiny copy, sent on the way,
Building the person I am today.
(thump-thump, thump-thump) A trillion copies,
exact and neat, Walking around on two brave feet.
Through sun and storm,
through joy and pain,
The exact same rhythm inside the vein.
It’s chemistry, it’s history,
Locked inside the mystery!
Oh, make me! Code me!
Build me from the start!
Cell by cell, and part by part.
A spiral staircase, scaling high,
Underneath the microscopic sky.
Oh, make me! Real and true!
Made from the old,
brand new!
Just A, T, C,
and G... Building all of me.
Twisted round and round.
The best design that’s ever found.
(thump-thump, thump-thump)
