lyrics

The history of the world so far.

A fish from the sludge started walking around
He picks up a rock and a stick that he found
Makes him and axe, chops him a tree
Sets up a home with a cute chimpanzee

That’s the history of the world so far
Someone invents the wheel and someone steals my car.
He does very well with opposable thumbs
He waits and he waits until the iron age comes
He makes him a gun, kills all he sees
Discovers genetics through studying peas

The next thing you know he’s up flying in space
He lands on the moon like a fly on its face
He looks all around, sees he’s alone
Then shits in a crater before flying back home.
