Your Science Song

This parody (written by Greg Crowther) is sung to the tune of "Your Song" (written by Bernie Taupin and Elton John and performed by Elton John).


Context

Here is another ode to my wife, Leila, a biostatistican.


Lyrics

It’s a little bit funny, this feeling inside;
It must be amygdala ion channels conducting chloride.
I don’t have much funding, but, boy, if I did,
I’d buy you some model organisms, like mole-rats or squid.

If I was a doctor, and I had a pager,
Receiving your texts would stir my zygomaticus major.
I know this is nerdy, but it’s the best I can do!
My gift is my science songs; this one’s for you.

And you can tell everybody this is your science song.
It may be quite technical, but now that it’s done,
I hope you don’t mind --
I hope you don’t mind
That I put down this wisdom:
How wonderful biology is while you’re in the ecosystem!

I hope you don’t mind --
I hope you don’t mind
That I put down this wisdom:
How wonderful biology is while you’re in the ecosystem!
