DNA Song
(Sing to the tune of Row, Row, Row Your Boat)
We love DNA
made of nucleotides
sugar, phosphate, and a base
bonded down one side.
Adenine and thymine
make a lovely pair
cytosine without guanine
would feel very bare.
D, D, DNA
different sets of genes
look inside the nucleus
for instructions to make proteins.
We love DNA
it’s the code of life
and the genetic makeup of
all you have in side.
