The Rainforest Song

#rainforest #sciencesong #tropicalrainforest
A song I wrote for my elementary science students to help launch our rainforest unit. Hope you enjoy!

LYRICS:
Birds, frogs,
Bats and bees,
Butter-butter-butter-butterflies…
Ants, plants,
Snakes and leaves,
Silly climbing monkeys, swinging in the trees…

It’s a gift from the Earth,
A gift for you and me,
A gift from the Earth,
A gift for all to see,
The tropical rainforest,
The tropical rainforest…

Rainforest,
Growing green,
The most amazing place the Earth has ever seen,
Lush life, diversity,
The most amazing place on Earth for us to see...

It’s a gift from the Earth,
A gift for you and me,
A gift from the Earth,
A gift for all to see,
The tropical rainforest,
The tropical rainforest…

Bats, jaguars, amphibians,
Tell me the kind of place I’m in,
Lemurs, birds, butterflies,
Funny monkeys meet our eyes!
Snakes, turtles, moths, skinks,
chocolate beans for chocolate drinks,
Two-toed sloths, or maybe three,
Move so slowly, you’ll agree,
The rainforest is the place for me,
Cradle of Earth’s diversity…

Birds, frogs,
Bats and bees,
Butter-butter-butter-butterflies…
Ants, plants,
Snakes and leaves,
Silly climbing monkeys, swinging in the trees…

It’s a gift from the Earth,
A gift for you and me,
A gift from the Earth,
A gift for all to see,
The tropical rainforest,
The tropical rainforest…

Epiphytes, orangutans,
Colored beaks of cool toucans,
And those wise old, graceful trees,
Produce oxygen, which we breathe…
For all on Earth, it’s plain to see,
A place to protect for you and me…
The rainforest, for all to see,
The cradle of earth’s diversity…
The cradle of earth’s diversity…
The cradle of earth’s diversity…

Rainforest,
Growing green,
The most amazing place the Earth has ever seen,
Lush life, diversity,
The most amazing place on Earth for us to see…

It’s a gift from the Earth,
A gift for you and me,
A gift from the Earth,
A gift for all to see
The tropical rainforest,
The tropical rainforest…
