Mr Darwin say
He find a way
Now he know the secret of man
Mr Ignorant bray
Darwin you strayed
Away from the path of God's plan
With his shiny tooth
Say the Bible is truth
The only message that has any worth
Mr Darwin have proof
Man is not aloof
He evolve from everything you find on earth
A monkey's uncle, a monkey's uncle
He make a monkey's uncle out of you
So they argue all day
Mr. Darwin explain
Exactly how he find his remedy
Cos Mr. Ignorant's faith
And all the time he wastes
Will never tell us how we came to be
A monkey's uncle, a monkey's uncle
He make a monkey's uncle out of you
Oh Oh Oh A monkey's uncle is what you will be
Oh Oh Oh If you think we come from Adam and Eve
Oh Oh Oh Why is it so hard to see
The world these days is run by chimpanzees
Mr Einstein steps in
Explains with a grin
All about relativity
But Mr Ignorant say
How did such a clever brain
Come from a chimpanzee
Mrs. Curie drop by
Just to say hi
Put Mr. Ignorant in his place
With her X-X-rays
She try to find his brain
But only found a very big space
A monkey's uncle, a monkey's uncle
He make a monkey's uncle out of you
So they argue all night
Mr Ignorant take fright
Everybody laughing at him
If you take away science
And only show defiance
You'll be swinging out there on a tree limb
A monkey's uncle, a monkey's uncle
He make a monkey's uncle out of you
