    Some call it Evolution,
    And others call it God.

The Lord let the house of a brute to the soul of a man,
And the man said, "Am I your debtor?"

The racer and hack may be traced to one Horse;
So men were developed from monkeys of course,
Which nobody can deny.

Nobody knows just when we begun,
Or how fur we've gone in the race.
