I love you, momMuch to my surprise, some people have requested the mp3--now you can get it here:http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/cadamole (it's the first song)or on iTunes, just search cadamoleLyrics:To make one me you just addHalf of mom and half of dadThat is what I once believedBut I know now that I was wrongI got so much more from you momThan just half a set of genesI got nutrients and transcription factorsand nearly everything that mattersplus my prenatal environment (transplacental inheritance)mRNA, mitochondria,That back in the day once belonged to ya (theyre cytoplasmic)and I just want to thank for supplying themJust like two strands of DNA are spirally entwinedYour nature and your nurture are inspiringly combinedScientists remind me and I find that it is trueSlightly more than half of everything I am is thanks to youMitochondria power my cellsand they have DNA as wellTranscription factors modulate transcriptionAnd since theyre in the cytoplasmThe eggs the only one that has emand sperm I guess they dont have much ambitionMy sex determination gene means that Im a guyFrom you I got my X chromosome, from Dad I got my YX has over a thousand genes, Y has less than 92Thats why more than half of everything I am is thanks to youI roomed in your womb for nine whole months and never paid the rentYour glucocorticoids shaped my hypothalmic developmentI took in your blood and sucked it dry of every nutrient (its gross but true)Sometimes I wonder where the time went (where did it go)Sometimes I wonder where it wentI know Ill never understand all you have done for me (Im not that smart)But since you paid for college Ill get my B. S. degree (bachelor of science)And I have learned its not BS but absolutely trueSlightly more than half of everything I am is thanks to you."It's not an even 50/50 split you get a disproportionate share of your DNA coming from your mom. Really important." - Robert SapolskyvCHORDSVerse: D A G G Chorus: A bm G D x2 / G A D-A-bm / G A G D Bridge: G A D G x2 / G A D-A-bm / G G A A -- rock on!
