lyrics

(Tiktaalik surfaces)

Tiktaalik Tiktaalik what archeologists call it
A fish that could do a push up
Our ancestor from the water
It crawled on land and explored it
And we’re supposed to applaud it
But I wish it hadn’t bothered
I’d rather swim like an otter

Way back in ancient times
Fishes had skulls and spines
Everything was totally fine
But they came up with a new design

Two front limbs that evolved from flippers
ONE BONE TWO BONE BUNCHA BONES DIGITS
You see it on mammals, birds and lizards
ONE BONE TWO BONE BUNCHA BONES DIGITS
With legs and wings they can get around quicker
ONE BONE TWO BONE BUNCHA BONES DIGITS
Tiktaalik was the first of the dry land critters
TIKTAALIK WAS THE FIRST OF THE DRY LAND CRITTERS

Now it’s modern times
We still got skulls and spines
But our fins have disappeared
And we live on land all year

I wish that fish knew how good it had it
I wish it stayed put in its habitat
I wish it didn’t make me mad at it
I’m human but I coulda been halibut

Tiktaalik Tiktaalik
Tiktaalik Tiktaalik

Tiktaalik Tiktaalik what archeologists call it
A fish that could do a push up
It crawled up out of the water
And now to honor its struggles
And all the stress it was under
We return to the aqua
To pay homage all Summah

Tiktaalik Tiktaalik
Tiktaalik Tiktaalik

Jerry-rigged fish, that’s all we is
Jerry-rigged fish, that’s all we is
Jerry-rigged fish, that’s all we is
Jerry-rigged fish, that’s all we is
