Habitat

by Bill Oliver (on his “Texas Oasis” album)

Chorus:     Habitat, habitat, have to have a habitat (3Xs);
               have to have a habitat to carry on.

The ocean is a habitat, a very special habitat,
It’s where the deepest water’s at, it’s where the biggest mammals at
 It’s where our future food is at, it keeps the atmosphere intact
The ocean is a habitat that we depend on.

Chorus

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.

Chorus

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.

Chorus

The march 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 march is a habitat that we depend on.

Chorus

People are different than foxes and rabbits,
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.

Chorus
