Hip hip hooray.... for DNA

by Peter Weatherall

In every living cell,
There’s a useful tool,
Containing information,
In a molecule.

Chorus:
Hip Hip Hooray for DNA,
It provides the key,
To the plans for making,
Everything in you and me.

A single strand of DNA,
Can alphabetically,
Be sequenced by the letters,
A, C, T and G.

Chorus

The letters can be put into groups of three,
Which go to make a genetic recipe eeeee,
Cells can use this recipe,
Written down in genes,
To decipher how to make,
All of our proteins.

Chorus

Proteins can be used
To make body parts,
Such as lungs and livers,
kidneys and heaaarts.

Chorus

….To the plans for making
Everything in you and me.
