[Verse 1]
In a world full of warnings,
signs, and fences,
It appears that some
have lost all of their senses.
“I’m special,” they declare,
nothing bad will take place.
As they seek that perfect moment,
staring death right in the face.
[Chorus ]
Darwin?—Oh Darwin,
the award that can’t be bought.
Called out for special deeds
from your stupidity.
Darwin?—Oh Darwin.
You’ve won this prized award.
Too bad you’ll never see it
for you’re lying in the morgue.
[Verse 2]
Take the chap on the cliff, chasing that prized selfee shot,
Just a few inches closer—Believe it or not.
One gust of wind, one tiny misstep on the ledge,
And down he plummets—right off from the edge!
Or the brave soul at the zoo, fences be damned,
“I just want to pet the tiger,” at least that’s his plan.
Over he climbs, the cat comes up with a hunch,
Licking his chops… and invites him to lunch.
[Chorus ]
Darwin?—Yes Darwin,
Heads shake in disbelief,
“What on earth, were they thinking?”
Their deaths now comic relief.
Darwin?—Yes Darwin,
an encore for the bold.
Your deeds turn into classics,
your stories forever told.
[Final Chorus]
Darwin?—Yes Darwin,
Posthumously given
since you’re no longer livin’
next of kin will have to do.
Darwin?—Yes Darwin,
We raise a toast or two.
You’re no longer here as we try to shed a tear.
this award was especially made for you.
