DARWIN’S THEORY OF EVOLUTION (To the tune of DEM BONES)  

Lyrics by Dave Cohen, chief songerwriter of CBBC's Horrible Histories, written in collaboration with Helen Weinstein who commissioned the song at Historyworks for children, families, teachers schools to enjoy!  Lyrics below:

Humans connected to gorilla
Gorilla connected to orang utan
Orang utan connected to the gibbon
Charles Darwin did record…

Darwin connected all the animals
Saw how llamas came from camels
Worked out that whales had been mammals
They're from the same family.

Dem whales first lived on dry land
It’s said that they had legs and hands
Swimming was their best sport and
They ended up in the sea

Darwin said he found a sol-u-tion
Called the theory of ev-ol-u-tion
It was a major rev-ol-u-tion
Although some still disagree
