“Myopic Deer”
Ch. 22 Natural Selection Song
Music by Adam Schaefer
Lyric by PV

Intro
Natural Selection is a
Mechanism of
Evolution

Chorus
There ain’t no such thing as nearsighted deer
‘cuz if there were, they’d get eaten by a bear.
Nearsighted genes won’t get passed along
They will die right there with that myopic fawn.

Bridge
Survival of the fittest means
Differential success in reproduction
Not just being strong and fast.

Solo
This all leads to populations that are
Adapted to their environment.

Bridge
It doesn’t matter how great you are,
If that trait’s not in your genes,
It just won’t go far

Chorus
There ain’t no such thing as nearsighted deer
‘cuz if there were, they’d get eaten by a bear.

I’m so glad that I’m not a wild deer
‘cuz I am so blind that I would not be here.
