The Rainforest

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Gonna take you to a place that's dark and green A mysteriously seriously fabulous scene A million kinds of creatures and a zillion trees Swinging and a-zinging to the harmonies It's dark down below where the sun can't go Where they prowl and they growl and slither and grow A forest full of motion with a cool refrain It's the rainforest [Verse 2] Here every living creature has a job to do Giving shelter or recycling or providing food They depend on one another for the things they need A proper little tropical society It's hot and it's wеt and there's bugs and bats But the trees and thе creatures well, they like it like that Connected to each other in a living chain In the rainforest [Bridge] Going up, forest floor, large animals Forest recycling center, understory layer And that's insects, frogs, and real big cats Oh, watch your step, canopy Exotic birds and monkeys Please don't feed the snakes Emergent layer, eagles, bats and all things that fly Fly with me and see the forest waiting down below Think of all the wonders deep within If we cut these forests down as some have done, you know Think of what we'd never have again [Verse 3] So many ways the forests are important They help protect the planet from global warming They help produce the oxygen that we all breathe They help provide the medicines that people need Creatures call it shelter, tribes call it home Think of what will happen if the forests were gone Think of what we'd never have again Oh, we gotta show respect, gotta try to protect Every plant, every ant, every weird insect They're depending on each other whether large or small At threat to even one endangers them all We may live in a town or down a country lane You may use an umbrella in the pouring rain But we're all of us connected in a living chain Do the rainforest [Outro] We should defend it, yeah, we should befriend it Because we're all dependent on the rainforest We're all connected more than we expected Lots to be protected in the rainforest We should defend it, yeah, we should befriend it Because we're all dependent on the rainforest
