Cells Lyrics - Here Comes Science (amazon.com Exclusive) [cd/dvd] - They Might Be Giants

Life is made out of cells 

Cells make copies of themselves (copies of themselves) 

And they make copies of themselves (and they make copies of themselves) 

And they make copies of themselves 

Different cells have different jobs 

But they all have one thing in common 

Inside of every cell is a twisted ladder 

A recipe for life called DNA 

The directions are written out in the ladder's rungs 

Where they can be found 

In every cell of everything that lives

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

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 

Photos 

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
