F+'s have tra genes
That code for sex pili
That plasmid DNA
Passes through
But F+ need F-
As well as 20 genes
And F plasmids too
I wanna conjugate with you
We don't need Barry White
'Cos we've got tra genes that's right
Don't worry about orientation
I can insert F plasmid at different Locations
What a transformation
I hope you appreciate
We can conjugate
Appreciate
Conjugation for the nation
E.coli nation
And stytomycoin (Crap spelling)
Can't break us apart
'Cos my res genes
Are the keys to your heart
And when Ampicillin
Tries to break through
You'll be glad
Oh so glad, I conjugated with you
CHORUS
But I'm an F+
I need about 20 genes
That are necessary to code for
Sex pili assembly
But now that the act is done
It saddens me
You can conjugate with anyone
CHORUS
That's the way it goes
Species evolution
I gave you something special
Conjugation revolution
F- you get naked
'Cos you're my recepient
You must be competent
Conjugation for the nation
E.coli nation
Conjugation
E.coli nation
