Oh, Biology

Lyrics

[KATHERINE] I'm ace at all anatomies and master of dissection An expert chef who wields an expert knife But still, I sense a gremlin in the system of perfection There clearly are still mysteries to life It's kingdom, phylum, class, and then It's order, family, genus It all comes back to me like child's play Then he leans over my shoulder there, in all his long and leanness And cuts my hard earned knowledge clean away I try to keep a focused mind and steady hand [STUDENTS] Ooh, keep focused, ooh, keep steady [KATHERINE] But the rhythm of my heart is like a country western band [STUDENTS] Oh, oh, oh, oh [KATHERINE] Oh, biology! What have you done to me? Why can't my grown-up brain control my teenage parts? Oh, biology! Why won't you let me be? Why can't you be humane and still our beating hearts? Before the cutting starts [ADAM, spoken] Huh, shyeah. Ellie, check it. Hahaha, man! [KATHERINE and (STUDENTS] He's inert and inarticulate (Ooh) A specimen of truant (Ooh) And though we're both sixteen, he's much too young (Ooh) [STUDENTS] Much too young [KATHERINE] My amygdala is fully formed, my frontal lobe is fluent (Ooh, ooh) And pheromones go futzing with my tongue [ADAM] That's totes amaze, I'm way impressed, like, sweet technique [STUDENTS] Holy cow! [KATHERINE] Um, like totally, um, thanks Good lord, now can't I even speak? [KATHERINE and STUDENTS] Oh, biology! (Oh, biology!) What have you done to me? (Done to me!) My over-forty soul is in a teen cliche (Teen cliche!) Oh, biology! (Biology!) Why won't you set me free? (Set me free!) 'Cause I'm not in control and hunger has its say (Hunger has its say) And hormones have their way (spoken) Focus Blake, focus [ZACH] Hey, take a look at Ellie Blake She does this lab work great [HANNAH] For Kermit there, he had no chance [SAVANNAH] That girl is on my nerves today, I better set her straight [RUSTY] It's fun to make a dead frog dance! [ADAM] I never knew that Ellie Blake was such a science wiz She's smart, of course, so it makes sense But something's up with her today, I don't know what it is She's like on fire, she's so intense [KATHERINE] He's so intense! [STUDENTS] It's so intense! [RUSTY] And I'm so dense! [KATHERINE & ALL] Oh, biology! Look what you've done to me! My heart is in a pan, my brain is out to sea Oh, biology! Why won't you let me be? Please help me if you can, please hear my painful plea Biology Biology Biology [KATHERINE] Please set me free [STUDENTS] Set me free Set me free Set her free
