Meet the Base Buddies

snap... snap... (shoo-bop, shoo-bop)

[ALL] A with T, and G with C — clap-a-clap-clap! (snap-snap!)

[ADDY] Hey now, I'm Addy — I'm an A, and I'm sweet on just one... [TESS] And I'm Tess — I'm a T, baby, here I come! [ADDY] I need a... [TESS] ...T! [BOTH] lock! snap-click! (shoo-bop!) A always finds a T — clap your hands and watch us rock!

[GWEN] Now I'm Gwen — I'm a G, and I'm lookin' for my one... [CYTO] And I'm Cyto — a C, sugar, two halves of one! [GWEN] I need a... [CYTO] ...C! [BOTH] lock! snap-click! (shoo-bop!) G always finds a C — stomp your feet and watch us rock!

[ALL] Two by two, we pair on the snap! (snap-snap!) A with T, and G with C — clap-a-clap-clap! Every little base grabs the buddy of its own — two by two, snap-a-snap, all the way home!

[ADDY] Try me with a G, baby? [GWEN] No-no-no, I'm not your T! (bzzt — wrong buzzer!) [TESS] Try me with a C? [CYTO] Eww, no thank you, honey — you belong to that A! [ADDY] A G for an A? [ALL] (bzzt!) Nope! [TESS] A C for a T? [ALL] (bzzt!) Nope! One true partner, and that's the only fit that locks — (shoo-bop!) hear the whole ladder go snap-snap-pop!

[ADDY & TESS] Now grab a hand, hold on tight... [GWEN & CYTO] ...and spin us around, hold the rungs up right! [ALL] Round and around, give the ladder a spin — wheee! — a twisty ladder, and we're tucked within!

[ALL] Two by two, we pair on the snap! (snap-snap!) A with T, and G with C — clap-a-clap-clap! Every little base grabs the buddy of its own — two by two, snap-a-snap, all the way home!

[CYTO] Atoms found their one — that's the dance below... [GWEN] ...bases find their one — snap! — and the lock just grows and grows! [ALL] Partner locks to partner, love locks all the way up — small to tall, two by two, snappin' to the top! (snap-click!)

snap... snap... (shoo-bop, shoo-bop) [ADDY] A and a T... [GWEN] ...G and a C... [ALL] two by two, that's you and me! A with T, and G with C — clap-a-clap-clap! snap-click!
