Buddy Houghtaling - Mr. Darwin Lyrics
[Verse 1]Mr. Darwin, I address youTo the subject of this songAnd I hope you're not offendedWhen I tell you that you're wrongBut when you tell me thatMy ancestor's a flower or a treeMr. DarwinI have to disagreeYou said that we were slimey onceAnd crawled out of the seaAnd though I am no scientistI know that wasn't meI don't know just what possessed youTo say all the things you saidBut when Jesus comesYour face will sure be red[Chorus]For it was God who formed me from the dustAnd gave my body shapeIt is He who I descended fromAnd not some hairy apeAnd it is He that loves and cares for meThis much I know is trueAnd Mr. DarwinJesus Christ loves you[Verse 2]I have a little dog at homeHe's got a lot to giveAnd though he is my little friendHe's not my relativeAnd when I go into the zooTo look at all the living thingsIt's just a visitAnd not a family gathering[Chorus]For it was God who formed me from the dustAnd gave my body shapeIt is He who I descended fromAnd not some hairy apeAnd it is He that loves and cares for meThis much I know is trueAnd Mr. DarwinJesus Christ loves you[Verse 3]I cannot condemn youFor the things you tried to sayAll I know is you and IWere never made that wayAnd though my little furry friendsShow similaritiesLet's not makeA monkey out of meMr. Darwin, when the life you ledIn Heaven's court is triedI hope you changed the tune you sangSome time before you diedCause when Jesus comes He's gonna takeHis children off the groundAnd you're just gonnaHave to stick around[Chorus]For it was God who formed me from the dustAnd gave my body shapeIt is He who I descended fromAnd not some hairy apeAnd it is He that loves and cares for meThis much I know is trueAnd Mr. DarwinMr. DarwinJesus Christ loves you
