Written by Doug "Dirt" Greenfield

lyrics

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.
