Chorus: Air cycle, it takes you and me Air cycle, breathing with the trees What we breathe out, the plants breathe in We trade CO2 for OXYGEN! The trees got a kitchen up in their leaves Cooking up a recipe we all need Sun, soil, water and CO2 produces oxygen for me and you. Chorus Now every living thing everywhere has got to have a breath of that sweet fresh air. By paving the land and cutting all of the trees we’re endangering our planet’s livability. Chorus Have you been to a salt marsh? Many plants growing in a land that’s harsh In a sandy, sunny, windy, salty habitat makin’ oxygen is where it’s at. Chorus Now listen folks, we’ve got to care ‘cause there’s only so much sweet, fresh air Clean up smoke stacks, tail pipes too to keep clean air for me and you Chorus Shoo bee doo… Shoo bee wa… Additional verse: That Lorax* dude was hip to the scene. He knew we needed those Truffula Trees. Without those trees breathin’ out that air, there wouldn’t be life anywhere. Chorus *The Lorax is an excellent book on trees and conservation written by Dr. Seuss.

E-C-O-L-O-G-Y ECOLOGY, ECOLOGY That’s Ecology, Ecology. Talk about Ecology. Learn about Ecology. Everything fits together naturally. The flower on our planet needs the buzzin’ bee. Everything is connected, we say. We’re all related in a special way. ECOLOGY Fresh air! No one here likes pollution. My friend tells me she’s got the solution. Recylcle paper, cans and the glass. Learn about conservation in your class. ECOLOGY. That’s Ecology. Fresh air! Clean water! Some animals, they just eat plants. Others, you know, they like to eat ants. Some will eat almost anything. The food chain makes me want to sing about… ECOLOGY. That’s Ecology. Fresh air! Clean water! Good soil! (Repeat) “Eco” means “home,” that’s yours and mine. For the hawk, the whale and the mountain lion, we all have to share this little planet, this magical place of water, air and granite. ECOLOGY. That’s Ecology. ECOLOGY. That’s Ecology. That’s Ecology, Ecology. Learn about Ecology. That’s Ecology.
