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

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

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
