My daughter has been looking at envrionmental issues this term at her primary school. She is only in reception and they have been looking at recycling, endangered animals and other environmentatl issues. It all comes to a head today with their going green day. She has also been singing a little song over the past few weeks about recycling. See what you think!
She is soooo cute.
ReplyDeleteHere are some more cute songs from some Primary students...

This was the first eco song in my opinion...
ReplyDeleteThey paved paradise
And put up a parking lot
With a pink hotel, a boutique
And a swinging hot spot
Dont it always seem to go
That you dont know what youve got
Till its gone
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot
They took all the trees
Put em in a tree museum
And they charged the people
A dollar and a half just to see em
Dont it always seem to go
That you dont know what youve got
Till its gone
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot
Hey farmer farmer
Put away that d.d.t. now
Give me spots on my apples
But leave me the birds and the bees
Please!
Dont it always seem to go
That you dont know what youve got
Till its gone
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot
Late last night
I heard the screen door slam
And a big yellow taxi
Took away my old man
Dont it always seem to go
That you dont know what youve got
Till its gone
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot
What about this song...from the Byrds - Hungry Planet
ReplyDeleteIm a hungry planet
I had a youthful face
They were in a hurry
To go to outer space
They needed bombs and tungsten
Ore and iron too
So they climbed and they dug and they blew
Divided me right in two
Im a hungry planet
Orbiting in the sky
The things they did to hurt me
Pass on by and by
Now here I am all alone
They never ever learn
Well I had to shake and quake
And make their houses burn
Im a hungry planet
I had the bluest seas
Oh the people kept choppin down
All my finest trees
Poisonin my oxygen
Diggin into my skin
Takin more out of my good earth
Than theyll ever put back in
Im a hungry planet
PIXIES LYRICS
ReplyDelete"Monkey Gone To Heaven"
there was a guy
an under water guy who controlled the sea
got killed by ten million pounds of sludge
from new york and new jersey
this monkey's gone to heaven
the creature in the sky
got sucked in a hole
now there's a hole in the sky
and the ground's not cold
and if the ground's not cold
everything is gonna burn
we'll all take turns
i'll get mine, too
this monkey's gone to haven
rock me joe!
if man is 5 [3x]
then the devil is 6 [5x]
then god is 7 [3x]
this monkey's gone to heaven
