(Emily Kaitz) My Daddy was a man of letters My Mama was a head of state And when they got their chromosomes together They gave me all of their recessive traits I'm an embarrassment to evolution My disposition is unstable and cruel My blood's a catastrophic blend 'Cause I'm from the shallow end of the gene pool My IQ is a negative number I've got a sense of humor no one can stand And my development was seriously encumbered By playing music with the Lounge Lizards band I'm a social director's nightmare At dinner parties I just babble and drool It's not easy making friends When you're from the shallow end of the gene pool Chorus: I'm from the shallow end of the gene pool My x-rays make the doctors laugh When they tried to chart my EEG waves Well I wasn't even on the graph Biological research is booming They're making breakthroughs like you wouldn't believe They say genetic engineering in humans Will someday soon be a reality I'm gonna get me a DNA transplant They're gonna rearrange my molecules Some natural laws will have to bend To get me from the shallow end of the gene pool
