De-Evolving

Jonathan Coulton

Composed by: Jonathan Coulton
I guess you've noticed that my arms don't fit in my old suits 
I guess you've noticed that I'm eating lots of jungle fruits 
Anyway more than I used to 
I used to be so tall and thin 
Now I'm not exactly sure which phylum I'm in 

And I know there's a monkey in the future for you 
And there's nothing modern science can do 
Keeping the thumb but I'm getting dumb 
I'm devolving, I'm devolving 
I am de-evolving 

I guess you've noticed that I can't sit still at dinnertime 
I guess you've noticed that I quit my job and I learned to sign 
Anyway more than I used to 
I used to have a little body hair 
Now I have to use a razor everywhere 

And I know there's a monkey in the future for you 
And there's nothing modern science can do 
Keeping the thumb but I'm getting dumb 
I'm devolving, I'm devolving 
I am de-evolving 

Why get so angry at me? 
I don't understand how you expect me to defend my actions 
Knowing what you now know 
Monkey one and monkey two 
Monkey me and monkey you 
Monkey see and monkey 
Do you still love me 
Now that I'm a monkey? 

I guess you've noticed that I drag my knuckles when I dance 
I guess you've noticed that I stuff a tail inside my pants 
Anyway more than I used to 
I used to see a movie now and then 
Now I'm never gonna watch King Kong again 

Because I know there's a monkey in the future for you 
And there's nothing modern science can do 
Keeping the thumb but I'm getting dumb 
I'm devolving, I'm devolving 
I am de-evolving 

I'm devolving 
De-evolving 
I'm a coal miner's daughter
