EVA LUTION.
Take Eva Luticn, an’ what does she say
♦Bout how we all sprung from a ape?
An’ there Ts the goriller and Mg chimpanzee,
Patterned exactly our shape.
An* I 1ve seen folks, an' I guess so have you,
- An’ it ain't none of our "bizness neitxner,
That actually looked like they sprung from a ape,
An’ didn't have fur to spring either.
Course 'at’s somepin *at every om knows;
I don't see how folks can doubt it;
S'posin' they have some resemblance to us,
Ho use in a-writin' about it.
If a feller'll take a geology book
An' not go rushin’ long through it,
But jes1 sort o’ figger the ching out hisself—
What I mean is: 'ply hisself to it
He'll see we've dug up folks ten thousand years old,
Built on a ponderous plan;
Somehow this knocks hr.hoses all out,
An' Adam, the biblical man.
O' course 'at’s somepin1 at nobody knows,
Nobody under the sun;
Nary a body or bein' I s'pose,
Nary a bein' but ONE.
