Bacterial Girl
Written by Wendy Grus
Bacterial Girl: EEB Holiday party 2006. for Heather Adams
VERSE 1:
Some like frogs, some like flowers
They're ok with me
But the organism I like to study
is one that you can't see
I can be acidic
Or really hot, I'm an extremophile
You can have your charismatic megafauna
but that's not my style, 'cause I am
CHORUS:
Living in a bacterial world
And I am a bacterial girl
You know that we are
living in a bacterial world
And I am a bacterial girl
VERSE 2:
Some like birds, and some like bees
That's all right with me
But they don't raise my interest so I
Have to let them be
The autotrophs are chemotrophs
Or photosynthesizers
Studying their nutrient cycling
makes me all the wiser, 'cause we are
CHORUS
Living in a bacterial world [bacterial]
Living in a bacterial world
(repeat)
