Performing Notes

Enjoy chord-charts and lyrics at the Corktown Ukulele Jam songbook:
Corktunes: Stem Cells.....

[C] Cow-cells in vitro don’t moo, but they ain’t hard to [F] clone.

[G] Myocytes  can be lined up, much like neurons or [C] bone.  

Conveyor-belt ‘Dolly’s, on packing-house trolleys might [F] frighten consumers like you.  

PETA [G] surely will grouse if calves have to die young

To make BSE-free beef Ra[C]gú.

[C] Stem-cells, don’t let your daughter-cells grow up as [F] meatloaf;

Don’t [G] let ‘em be Big Macs or mulligan stew,

Make them be sirloins or prime ribs ‘au [C] jus’.

Stem-cells, don’t let your bovine genes morph into [F] burgers;

They’d [G] sure land up bunned, and likely be shunned by

Lovers of côtelettes-de-[C]-veau.
