Habitat

by Bill Oliver (on his “Texas Oasis” album), sung to the tune of “Lollipop”

CHORUS:

G             Em C                         D

Habitat, habitat, have to have a habitat (3x)

G                           Em           D       G

Have to have a habitat to carry on.

(Pop!) Ba dum, bum, bum

       G                  Em             C                     D

The ocean is a habitat, a very special habitat,

       G                                 Em            C                                D

It’s where the deepest water’s at, it’s where the biggest mammal’s at

       G                                Em          C                            D

It’s where all waters flow in fact, it keeps the atmosphere intact

       G                  Em                 D              G

The ocean is a habitat that we depend on.

The forest is a habitat, a very special habitat

It’s where the tallest trees are at, it’s where a bear can scratch its back

It keeps the ground from rolling back, renews the oxygen, in fact

The forest is a habitat that we depend on.

The river is a habitat, a very special habitat

It’s where the freshest water’s at for people, fish, and muskrats

But when the people dump their trash, the river takes the biggest rap

The river is a habitat that we depend on.

The marsh is a habitat, a very special habitat

It’s where the waterfowl are at, it’s where the turtle takes a bath

It’s where the algae do their math, multiplying very fast

The marsh is a habitat that we depend on.

The wetlands are a habitat, a very special habitat

It’s where diversity is at, it’s where the flooding stops in fact

It’s where plants help us out, taking our pollution back

The wetlands are a habitat that we depend on.

People are different than foxes and rabbits,

They affect the whole world with their bad habits

Better to love it while we still have it,

Or rat-ta-tat-tat, our habitat’s gone.
