Amoeba Hop-Christine Lavin

Amoeba Hop - Christine Lavin Just a little puddle of muddy water Left there after the rain I got down on my knees I looked close I saw things I couldn't explain There was all those itty bitty Teeny weeny little tiny creatures Swimmin' and sloshin' about I put my ear down to that puddle I could hear one of them shout We're goin' to the Amoeba Hop Everybody's gonna be there Got my eye on a cute paramecium You know the one with the wavy hair Rockin' and rollin' shakin' our cells And flappin' our flagella all over Well the good times don't never gonna stop When you go to the Amoeba Hop (That's what I heard... I mean it! I mean it!) Then I spied a shy protozoan Swingin' all by hisself He was lookin' for a partner to shake a leg with But everyone was dancin' with everybody else So he was so lonely till Mother Nature Showed him what to do He boogied down he did a little binary fission Split his-cellf in two (and now he's got a partner) For the Amoeba Hop Everybody gonna be there My, oh my, of nucleoli Have you ever seen such a perfect pair? Rockin' and rollin' shakin' their cells Slappin' their cilia all over Well, the good times don't never gonna stop When you go to the Amoeba Hop Good times don't never gonna stop When you go to the Amoeba Hop Some folks that one-celled animals Don't know how to swing People who say that... are wrong 'Cause I saw a band of algae Get up there and sing: "When the red red robin comes Bob-bob-bobbin' along" But to them it's a monster song! Oooh the puddle was jumpin' So was I I guess I lost my head In my excitement I splashed it dry Oh my god I thought they was dead! But no! They just come splashin' down Right here into my hand And sure enough I could still hear That swingin' algae band Sayin' We're going to the Amoeba Hop, Everybody gonna be there, Got my eye on a cute paramecium, Look at the hair girls! Look at the hair! Rockin' and rollin' shakin' our cells Slappin' pseudopodia all over Well the good times don't never gonna stop When you go to the Amoeba Hop Good times don't never gonna stop When you go to the Amoeba Hop-hop hop bada Good times don't never gonna stop When you go to the Amoeba Hop!
