(Emily Kaitz)
My Daddy was a man of letters
My Mama was a head of state
And when they got their chromosomes together
They gave me all of their recessive traits
I`m an embarrassment to evolution
My disposition is unstable and cruel
My blood`s a catastrophic blend
`Cause I`m from the shallow end of the gene pool
My IQ is a negative number
I`ve got a sense of humor no one can stand
And my development was seriously encumbered
By playing music with the Lounge Lizards band
I`m a social director`s nightmare
At dinner parties I just babble and drool
It`s not easy making friends
When you`re from the shallow end of the gene pool
Chorus:
I`m from the shallow end of the gene pool
My x-rays make the doctors laugh
When they tried to chart my EEG waves
Well I wasn`t even on the graph
Biological research is booming
They`re making breakthroughs like you wouldn`t believe
They say genetic engineering in humans
Will someday soon be a reality
I`m gonna get me a DNA transplant
They`re gonna rearrange my molecules
Some natural laws will have to bend
To get me from the shallow end of the gene pool Send " American Guitars" Ringtone to your Cell
