My ancestors were not apes, I'm sure
If they'd been, I should have lived carefree,
joyously, with a pear in between my teeth
hanging on trees

My ancestors were not dolphins, I'm sure
If they'd been, I should have been intelligent
ingenious, cheery, friendly
or at least smiley

My ancestors were not lions, I'm sure
If they'd been, I should have behaved as a king
understanding, dignified, respectful,
not like hyenas or wolves 

My ancestors were not dinosaurs, I'm sure
If they'd been, I should have been...nothing
They have already been extinct 
Obviously, they didn't look like me anyway

My ancestors might have been the African elephants
or the huge Megalodons in the oceans
or even the Sequoia trees in California
Whatever they were, I've not been evolved perfectly

All due respect, I guess my DNA was not so pure, 
and for that, I'm wayward, stuffy and stubborn
afraid other animals evolve faster than me
Oh Darwin, are you sure about your theory?
