lyrics

Is there waste? Well I don’t know. One thing dies to let another grow.
This circle we see most every day. The name that we call it is decay.
(Chorus) Well, come all you people gather round. Breakdown and listen to decomposition.
(Cross-lines) munch...munch...decomposition...get down, breakdown
There are many kinds of bugs. Worms and snails and banana slugs
They are useful for me and you. They help to make the soil renew.
Decomposition is a useful game. A tree drops its leaves but they don’t stay the same.
A bug chews them up and spits them back out. Making the soil for a new tree to sprout.
