Mr. Notochord bring me a spine
Make him the most ossified that I’ve ever seen
Give him plenty of vertebrae like tarsals and metatarsals
Then tell him that his invertebrate nights are over

Notochord, I’m so invertebrate
Don’t have no spine to call my own
Please turn on your vertebrate genes
Mr. Notochord, bring me a spine

Mr. Notochord bring me a spine
Make him the most ossified that I’ve ever seen
Give him the word that I’m not an invertebrate
Then tell him that his invertebrate nights are over

Notochord, I’m so invertebrate
Don’t have no spine to call my own
Please turn on your vertebrate genes
Mr. Notochord, bring me a spine

Mr. Notochord
Bring us a spine
Give him a dorsal nerve cord with pharyngeal slits
Give him a endostyle like Chordata
And lots of vertebrae like Vertebrata

Mr. Notochord, a spine to erect
Would be so peachy before we’re too speciated
So please turn on your vertebrate genes
Mr. Notochord, bring us, please, please, please
Mr. Notochord, bring us a spine
