CHORUS:
Life in my cells, I'm lookin' good today in my DNA
(It's hereditary)
Life in my cells I've got some cool molecules full of DNA
(It's hereditary)

My genetic code, a good plan, I'm baskin'
In my deoxyribonucleic acid
When cells replicate, they need to know what to do
DNA has instructions to make molecules grow into you
(It's hereditary)

(CHORUS)

It's a double helix that comes in two strands
With three billion steps, it's a mighty fine plan
There are twenty three pairs of chromosomes for us
Our DNA and genes packed in each nucleus of a cell
(It's hereditary)

Some very cool molecules indeed
In all living cells DNA is the key
It tells a cell what to do
Determines what it will be
Passin' DNA
Is nature's way
To regenerate

(CHORUS)

You inherit DNA from your parents, it's true
Some very cool molecules
All biological life, plants, animals and you have DNA
(It's hereditary)
