Timeline of Life Song
In Cambrian Times, life started small. Hurrah! Hurrah!
The trilobites then ruled them all. Hurrah! Hurrah!
(There was) too much chalk in Silurian Seas.
The corals cleaned them for you and me.
And the life forms slowly changed, and they changed,
To adapt to the world. (Bum, bum, bum
Oh life went marching on and on. Hurrah! Hurrah!
Oh life went marching on and on. Hurrah! Hurrah!
(In) Devonian Times, fish ruled, you know.
Armored Fish died out; they swam too slow.
And the life forms slowly changed, and they changed,
To adapt to the world. (Bum, bum, bum)
Oh life went marching on and on. Hurrah! Hurrah!
Oh life went marching on and on. Hurrah! Hurrah!
(In the) Mesozoic, the dinosaurs ruled.
(Some were) gentle giants and some were cruel.
And the life forms slowly changed, and they changed,
to adapt to the world. (Bum, Bum, Bum).
(In the) Cenozoic, the mammals rose. Hurrah! Hurrah!
To conquer the world and so it goes. Hurrah! Hurrah!
The world was now right for the human race,
To emerge and take care of this beautiful place.
And we all say, “Thank you for all that has come before.”

Composer Education: Scott Joplin
Ragtime – also spelled rag-time or rag time[1] – is a musical genre that enjoyed its peak popularity between 1895 and 1918.[2] Its cardinal trait is its syncopated, or "ragged", rhythm.[2] The genre has its origins in African-American communities like St. Louis[3][4] years before being published as popular sheet music for piano.
Joplin was born into a musical family of railway laborers in Northeast Texas, and developed his musical knowledge with the help of local teachers. Joplin grew up in Texarkana, where he formed a vocal quartet, and taught mandolin and guitar. Joplin moved to Sedalia, Missouri, in 1894 and earned a living as a piano teacher; Joplin began publishing music in 1895.
The copyright on "The Entertainer" was registered December 29, 1902
In November 1970, Joshua Rifkin released a recording called Scott Joplin: Piano Rags[4] on the classical label Nonesuch, which featured as its second track "The Entertainer". It was nominated for a Grammy.
Marvin Hamlisch lightly adapted and orchestrated Joplin's music for the 1973 film The Sting, for which he won an Academy Award for Best Original Song Score and Adaptation on April 2, 1974.[9] His version of "The Entertainer" reached #3 on the Billboard Hot 100 and the American Top 40 music chart on May 18, 1974

I'm a Nut
I'm an acorn, small and round
Lying on the cold, cold ground
Everyone walks over me
That is why I'm cracked you see
I'm a nut!
(Click, click with tongue)
I'm a nut!
I'm a nut!
I'm a nut!
Called myself on the telephone
Just to hear my golden tone
Asked me out for a little date
Picked me up about half past eight
I'm a nut!
I'm a nut!
I'm a nut!
I'm a nut!
Took myself to the movie show
Stayed too late and said : Let's go
Took my hand and led me out
Drove me home and gave a shout!
I'm a nut!
I'm a nut!
I'm a nut!
I'm a nut!
