Goodbye Dolly
It’s so sad Dolly
I’ll count while I try to sleep
One two three cloned sheep
Goodnight Dolly
Rest your head Dolly
Perhaps they’ll bring you back some day
So you can run outside and play

She was the first to be cloned
In a Scottish lab that she called home
Many said it could not be done
But she was proof that they were all wrong
She was created from a breast cell
But unless you knew, you couldn’t tell
So she was named after Dolly Parton
I wonder, do sheep have a family Tartan?

Goodbye Dolly
It’s so sad Dolly
I’ll count you while I try to sleep
One two three cloned sheep

They say that she would come to greet
Any visitors with a happy bleat
I wonder if she knew her place
In the history of the human race
But she was old before her time
A victim of the genetic bottom line
So many questions still remain
If it was up to her would she do it all again

Goodbye Dolly
It’s so sad Dolly
I’ll count while I try to sleep
One two three cloned sheep
Goodnight Dolly
Rest your head Dolly
Perhaps they’ll bring you back some day
So you can run outside and play
