Verse 1:
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,
Chorus:
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
Bridge:
Verse 2:
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
Chorus:
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
Bridge:
Placental the sister of her brother Marsupial
Their cousin called Monotreme
Dead uncle Allotheria
Chorus:
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
