Anyone out there know the lyrics (and, ideally, a
citation to a printed source) for the evolutionary
filksong "It's a Long Way From Amphioxus to Us"?
All I can remember is:
1. tune is from "..Way to Tipperary"
2. refrain is:
It's a Long Long Way from Amphioxus-To Us!
Since I'm crossposting to alt.quotations, a
note for non-biologists: {Amphioxus} is a
very primitive vertebrate, similar to what
Owen identified as the vertebrate "archetype."
PLEASE EMAIL REPLIES :-) :-) I am busy writing
a dissertation (for which this song will be a
chapter epigraph) and don't have time to read
all the newsgroups as frequently as I'd like.
