Tune: Hark the Herald Angel Sing

DNA is what they say
Made you what you are today
Like a program it will tell
What will happen in each cell
DNA is a molecule
Look real close: its so cool
Like a ladder, double helix
So simple, yet so complex
Talking about Genetics
The study of heredity
Tune: Santa Claus is Coming to Town
CHORUS:
1
You wanna know how?
You wanna know why?
You wanna know how
Are protein synthesized
It all begins in the nuc-cleus
2

Start making a list

We wont say it twice
Gonna find out whos naughty or nice
These are the steps how protein
are synthesized
DNAs duplicated
mRNA is formed
Off we go to cytoplasm
And bond with ribosomes, Hey
REPEAT CHORUS 1
Tune: Rudolf the Red Nose Reindeer
You know Guanine and Thymine
Cytosine, Adenine
Purine, Pyrimidine
And Keto, Amino
But do you recall
What are those nucleotides for
Often abbreviated
As A, G and T and C
And it all works together
To be part of DNA
Single-ring nitrogen bases
Are known as Pyrimidines
While those double ring bases,
A and G, are called Purines

Complementary base pairing

Where base bonds with base
Cytosine is for Guanine
And Adenine is for Thymine
Then hydrogen bonds are formed
Often referred as base pairs
Thanks to Watson and Crick
Youll go down in history!
Tune: All I Want Christmas is You
And well let you know that protein
Is a macromolecule
Composed of amino acids,
Tells how a protein will fold
Proteins help you all the time.
More than what you could think of
You cannot see them
But they are all inside
of you
Protein from the Greek word protos
Which means first or primary
They range from various life span,
Ranging from months or years
Bacteria and the human body
Merely affected by these
the Malfunctioning of Proteins
Has led to many diseases
Proteins help you all the time.
More than what you could think of
You cannot see them
But they are all inside of you, (baby)
Tune: Jingle Bell Rock
The proteins, building blocks of our life
Proteins are made of amino acids
Theyre walking and dancing with bushels of fun
Protein helps you all the time
The proteins, building blocks of our life
Proteins are made of amino acids
Primary, Tertiary
They start to fold, using ATP
Looks like gelatin, cytoskeleton
Encoded by genes
Got some vesicles, cruisin baggage
Proteins too cool to imagine
See proteins isnt just in balance bars

Proteins are stuffs that work

Mix and minglin into the beat
That is how protein
That is how protein
Thats how protein works
