Story Behind the Song
My niece was complaining one day, very loudly, that her cat was not being nice, and coloring with her. My brother in law launched into an explanation about opposable thumbs. He spoke of evolution, and the adaptations that certain creatures have. Humans have hands to grab things. Cats just have paws.
Lyrics
There's a world full of things
creatures big and small
Cows, chickens, ducks, bats, birds, and bees
they're all here because they evolved
Cats can't draw pictures
they don't have hands to hold the crayons with
they just have paws
it's one of nature's laws
Evolution is a word
for many different things
like mutations and genetic crossover
It's why fish have fins and birds have wings
Cats can't draw pictures
they don't have hands to hold the crayons with
they just have paws
it's one of nature's laws
Adaptation to the environment
is what evolution's all about
It's how monkies can live in trees
and worms can live underground
Cats can't draw pictures
they don't have hands to hold the crayons with
they just have paws
it's one of nature's laws
There's a world full of things
creatures big and small
Cows, chickens, ducks, bats, birds, and bees
they're all here because they evolved
Cats can't draw pictures
they don't have hands to hold the crayons with
they just have paws
it's one of nature's
it's one of nature's
it's one of nature's
flaws
