Lyrics
Lyrics to the entire song: http://www.lyricstime.com/barenaked-ladies-the-big-bang-theory-theme-song-lyrics.html

Our whole universe was in a hot dense state, Then nearly fourteen billion years ago expansion started. Wait... The Earth began to cool, The autotrophs began to drool, Neanderthals developed tools, We built a wall (we built the pyramids), Math, science, history, unraveling the mysteries, That all started with the big bang!
