Mammal Lyrics by They Might Be Giants

Mammal Lyrics

    Standing in between extinction in the cold
    And explosive radiating growth
    So the warm blood flows
    Through the large four-chambered heart
    Maintaining the very high metabolism rate they have

    Mammal, mammal
    Their names are called
    They raise a paw
    The bat, the cat
    Dolphin and dog
    Koala bear and hog

    One of us might lose his hair
    But you're reminded that it once was there
    From the embryonic whale to the monkey with no tail
    So the warm blood flows
    With the red blood cells lacking nuclei
    Through the large four-chambered heart
    Maintaining the very high metabolism rate they have

    Mammal, mammal
    Their names are called
    They raise a paw
    The bat, the cat
    Dolphin and dog
    Koala bear and hog

    Placental the sister of her brother marsupial
    Their cousin called monotreme
    Dead uncle allotheria

    Mammal, mammal
    Their names are called
    They raise a paw
    The bat, the cat
    Dolphin and dog
    Koala bear and hog
    The fox, the ox
    Giraffe and shrew
    Echidna, caribou
