Hey Mr Elephant well how are you?
Is there something you know?
Are you running out of places to go?

Hey Mrs Butterfly where have you been?
You have so much to do
There’s a place in my heart for you

And I think you know
Most people go with the flow
They don’t hear what you’re saying
You’re just there for the show

But see the birds and the bees
And the leaves on the trees
They’re giving us signs
Of worsening times
And though the world’s on its knees
I’m begging you please
Don’t ask me to preach
Cos it’s too far to reach
So much we don’t know
And we’re going so slow
By the time those guys show
There’ll be nowhere to go

Hey Mrs Lioness how do you do?
You had a large piece of land
Now it’s a cage in a zoo
Is that good enough for you?

Hey Mr Hedgehog you’re still alive
You eat worms for your tea
Haven’t seen much of you recently

And I think you know
Things won’t change very soon
Or maybe they will
When pigs fly over the moon

But see the birds and the bees
And the leaves on the trees
They’re giving us signs
Of worsening times
And though the world’s on its knees
I’m begging you please
Don’t ask me to preach
Cos it’s too far to reach
So much we don’t know
And we’re going so slow
By the time those guys show
There’ll be nowhere to go

Try to perceive
That what you believe
It’s just what you read
And it’s taking us down
Down down
Down down
