lyrics

Chorus:
The FBI…whenever something dies
Oh, the FBI…is there on the scene
The FBI…is working overtime
Oh, the FBI, to pick those bones clean
Fungus…fungus, bacteria…bacteria
Invertebrates…invertebrates, the F B I

There’s fungus all among us and it’s
breaking things down,
Returning nutrients into the fertile ground
Millions of mycelium underground
that’s why
When you hold a handful of the earth
you hold the FBI.
Chorus…

There are billions of bacteria
in that soil over there
Microscopic life is in all water, land and air
You should know that they are there
though they are too small for your eye
These are secret agents of the FBI
Chorus…

Insects, bugs, slugs and worms are
working night and day
The invertebrate crew are
special agents of decay
To remove whatever’s rotten they will
hop, crawl, hide or fly
Enforcing nature’s laws they are the FBI.
Chorus…

Lay down very still in the duff
and learn their ways
Lift up a rotten log and
you will surly be amazed
Go creeping through the forest,
learn to see and be a spy
In search of evidence of the FBI
Chorus…
