Jeremiah was a Nematode
Lyrics and Vocals by Stacey Haack and Stephen Stowe

Bah dum bum
I thought I saw a Xiphinema
Bah dum bum
sampling from a grapevine.
Bah dum
I took it to the lab
to make a culture now I'm sad
'cause it died every time.
oh yes it died every time.

Ohhhhhhh nematodes
Rhabditidae and cephalobes.
Dorylaims, plectids and Tylenchidae
nematodes for you and me.

You know I love Heterodera (glycines)
with their eggs all up inside.
if you grow a soybean crop
and you never ever stop
your yield will be reduced in size.
rotate crops to avoid your demise.

Ohhhhhhh nematodes
my brain is about to explode
Spiral, lesion root knot, citrus sheath and ring
so many different species to bring (to class).

Ohhhhhhh nematology (100)
from pest managment to ecology
a joy to the class and Dr. Ferris too,
fun for me and you! (so much fun)
fun for me and you! (now everyone)
fun for me and you!!!!!!!
