Major Groovy

(To the tune of “Feelin’ Groovy”) / Recording by David Simmons

The DNA forms
A and B
Have bases
Complementary

Right hand are the helices
But different are the
Major groovies
Nanananananana major groovy

Transcription factors
With their bindin’
Cause DNA to
Start unwindin’

Holding it
Aggressively
By forming bonds in
Major groovies
Nanananananana major groovy

For proteins, the key
To sequence I-D
Is hydrogen bonding, each base pair unique
Purine, pyridine patterns discrete
In DNA’s most
Major groovy
Nanananananana major groovy

In DNA’s most
Major groovy
Nanananananana major groovy
