Oh, Biology

I’m ace at all anatomies
A master of dissection
An expert chef
Who wields an expert knife

But still, I sense a gremlin
In this system of perfection
There clearly
Are still mysteries to life

It’s the kingdom, phylum, class
And then it’s order, family, genus
It’s all come back to me
Like a child’s play

Then he leans over my shoulders there
In all his long and leanness
And cuts my hard-earned
Knowledge clean away

I try to keep a focused mind
And steady hand
But the rhythm of my heart
Is like a country western band

Oh, Biology!
What have you done to me?
Why can’t my grownup brain
Control my teenage parts

Oh, Biology!
Why won’t you let me be?
Why can’t you be humane
And still our beating hearts
Before the cutting starts

She’s so confident and cocky
It’s a total transformation
I’m sweating
But I’ll try to play it cool

But I open up my mouth
To try to make some conversation
And somehow end up
Sounding like a fool

Yo, dude, that’s sick I’m way impressed, like
Sweet technique (OMG!)
Um, like, totally, um thanks
Come on now, can’t I even speak?

Oh, Biology!
What have you done to me?
My over 40 soul
Is it a teen cliché (teen cliché)

Oh, Biology!
Why won’t you let me free?
‘Cause I’m not in control
When hunger has it’s say
And hormones have their way

Hey, what is up with El today?
She seems, well, kind of great
She’s Always great
But, yeah, it’s nuts

That girl is on my nerves today
I better set her straight
You better let her know what’s what!

I never knew that Ellie Blake
Was such a science whiz
She’s smart of course
That much I knew

But something’s up with her today
I don’t know what it is
But then just maybe
I feel it too (I feel it too)
We feel it too (That girl is through!)

Oh, Biology!
Look what you’ve done to me
My heart is in a pan
My brain is out to sea

Oh, Biology!
Why won’t you let me be?
Please help me if you can
Please help my painful plea

Biology
Biology
Biology
Please set me free
