Too Many People

Lyrics

[Chorus] Too many people having too many babies Got to love them babies but there's Too many people having too many babies Got to love them babies but it's out of control [Spoken] And it's a singalong! Too many people having too many babies Got to love them babies—very important part Got to love them babies but there's Too many people having too many babies Got to love them babies but it's out of control Try it [Chorus] Too many people having too many babies Got to love them babies but there's Too many people having too many babies Got to love them babies but it's out of control [Verse 1] Adam and Eve time on their hands Hyperactive glands room to expand When they began begatting they begatted to excess Eschewing tactics prophylactic now we're in a mess [Chorus] Because there's too many people having too many babies Got to love them babies but there's Too many people having too many babies Got to love them babies but it's out of control [Verse 2] When Columbus sailed the ocean we were four hundred million Industrial revolution still under a billion The Great Depression hit two point one billion Now we're pushing the millennium, six billion and counting [Bridge] Civil wars rumbling, refugees stumbling Forests falling, deserts creeping Traffic crawling, resources depleting Shoppers shopping for pleasures fleeting [Chorus] When there's too many people having too many babies Got to love them babies but there's Too many people having too many babies Got to love them babies but it's out of control [Verse 3] Once I lived in the city it was too big and noisy So I moved to the country to stop and smell the rosies All my city friends joined me and put up nice new housies Now it's too big and noisy think I'll move to the country [Bridge] Some say, no, no no no no, it's not the population It's consumption, pollution, unequal distribution I say that's so but it's a simple equation Population times pollution equals no solution [Chorus] When there's too many people having too many babies Got to love them babies but there's Too many people having too many babies Got to love them babies but it's out of control [Verse 4] If you are a child, welcome to the world This blue-green earth is your gift by birth May you rock to its rhythms, may you sing it's anthems And if you have babies please stop at two [Chorus] Because there's too many people having too many babies Got to love them babies but there's Too many people having too many babies Got to love them babies but it's out of control Too many people having too many babies Got to love them babies but there's Too many people having too many babies Got to love them babies but please stop at two [Outro] Thank you!
