Lyrics

I’m thinking ‘bout my momma and I’m thinking ‘bout you
Got those Sarcopterygian Devonian blues

My momma told me something that few people know
We were all a bunch of fishes a long time ago

So wave your fins in the air, it’s plain to see
You are wayward fish and it will set you free

Out of the ooze and we were born to cruise
For burgers in cars with nothin’ to lose

Can’t really say it was part of a plan
But it took millions of years to go from fish to man

Did we lose our way when we left that pool?
Sometimes I think so when we act like fools

Your momma was a lobefinned fish
Your momma was a lobefinned fish

Every little girl every single boy
Was born from the clan of the wayward Dipnoi

Don’t let that preacher man spoil all the fun
It tool a lot more than six days to get this job done

Amphibians, reptiles, birds, mammals and man
All belong to the fish tribe, don’t you understand?

Your momma was a lobefinned fish
Your momma was a lobefinned fish

It’s all there locked in the stone
The truth is told in fossilized bone

Fish had fingers, fish had arms
Crawling onto land like a charm

Changing the world, the rocks revealing
On and on in the chain of being
