artichoke - anning, mary (1799-1847) lyrics

do you know mary anning
born on a southern sh0r-
her father, richard, was a cabinet maker
and richard died so early
and left the annings poor
but lucky mary anning
found an ichthyosaur

by circa 1820
she ran a fossil store
she put the bones together for the collectors
and science was the product
of men of n0ble birth
but i’d take mary anning
over those stuffed white shirts

ancient life that sleeps as fossils

she was walking the cliffs on her own by the sea
she was wondering if there were shapes underneath
there were men with the cash but that’s not what it took
she could read ever line in the ground like a book
she -ssembled the bones of the past in cement
and she sold them in town for a couple of pence
and she showed all the men how the bones could connect
though at first, some would scoff, they would grow to respect

do you know mary anning
born on a southern sh0r-
her father, richard, was a cabinet maker
and richard died so early
and left the annings poor
but lucky mary anning
found an ichthyosaur

how did you get in here?
show me what you found here
h-llo, isn’t that queer?
do you have any more?
how did you get in here?
show me what you found here
h-llo, isn’t that queer?
do you have any more?
(played backwards)
h-llo, isn’t that queer?
do you have any more?
how did you get in here?
show me what you found here
