Thinking 'bout my Mama and I'm thinking 'bout you
Got those Sarcopterygian Devonian Blues

Momma told me somethin' 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're a wayward fish, and it will set you free

Out of the ooze and born to cruise
For burgers in cars with nothin' to lose

Can't really say if 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 the pool?
Sometimes I think so when we act like fools

YOUR MOMMA WAS A LOBEFINNED FISH
MY MOMMA WAS LOBEFINNED FISH

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

Don't let the preacher man spoil all the fun
Took a lot more than six days to get this job done

Amphibians and reptiles, birds, mammals and man
All belong to the FISH TRIBE, doncha' understand?

We Are Fish

YOUR MOMMA WAS A LOBEFINNED FISH
MY MOMMA WAS 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

YOUR MOMMA WAS A LOBEFINNED FISH
MY MOMMA WAS LOBEFINNED FISH

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

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

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

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

Out of the Ooze and Born to Cruise
