They Might Be Giants - Mammal lyrics

Glass of milk
Standing in between extinction in the
Cold and explosive radiating growth
So the warm blood flows through
The large four-chambered heart
Maintaining the very high metabolism
Rate they have

Mammal, mammal
Their names are called, they raise a paw
The bat, the cat
Dolphin and dog, koala bear and hog

One of us might lose his hair
But, you're reminded that it once was there
From the embryonic whale
To the monkey with no tail

So the warm blood flows
With the red blood cells lacking nuclei
Through the large four-chambered heart
Maintaining the very high metabolism
Rate they have

Mammal, mammal
Their names are called, they raise a paw
The bat, the cat
Dolphin and dog, koala bear and hog

Placental the sister
Of her brother Marsupial
Their cousin called Monotreme
Dead uncle Allotheria

Mammal, mammal
Their names are called, they raise a paw
The bat, the cat
Dolphin and dog, koala bear and hog
The fox, the ox, giraffe and shrew
Echidna, caribou
