 The Love Song of the Physical Anthropologist

words & music by Tom Lehrer

Let me tell you of The mammal that I love, She's lovely, she's charming, she's divine. That ectomorphic, hypsicranial, rufipilous, leptorrhinian Metriocephalic gal of mine.

Oh, the touch is grand Of her pentadactyl hand, She's my mesoprosopic valentine. That eurypellic, orthorachic, brachydontic, stenomeric, Dolichocnemic leptosome of mine.

Though you might wish this chordate Instead of mine were your date, You haven't got a chance, itsit's [sic] plain to see, For nothing is more alien To this marvelous mammalian Than affection shown to anyone but me.

Oh, her eyes are blue (And they're oxybleptic too), She's endothermic, and that suits me fine. That eurypellic, orthorachic, brachydontic, stenomeric, Bathycolpian, leiodermatous, callipygian, platyhieric, Ectomorphic, rufipilous, leptorrhinian Metriocephalic little gal of mine.
