about
From the original musical OZONE-A-THON, a musical for young audiences commissioned by The Philadelphia Theatre Caravan. This song features the Spotted Owl as a spokesperson on tour promoting environmental awareness! There is no place like home!
lyrics
A lot of species come and go,
But here's one that you all should know.
Everybody hoot and howl,
Let's hear it for the spotted owl!
SPOTTED OWL
HABITAT, HABITAT!
You can't do without your HABITAT!
You can always do without this or that,
But you can't do with out your HABITAT.
(You can't do without your HABITAT)
The birds will always build a nest,
And that I guarantee.
But I profess do their best,
When they have got a tree.
The fish will always swim in water
Quite aquatically.
But they're not cool in the swimmin' pool,
The fishies need the sea
HABITAT, HABITAT!
You can't do without your HABITAT!
It's nice to put out the welcome mat,
(doorbell)
Anybody home?
Come on in!
But you can't when you don't have a HABITAT!
(You can't when you don't have a HABITAT)
The cows will always graze on grass,
And when the grass is gone,
They spread the word among the herd,
Then all the cows move on.
I need to be in my old tree-house
When I greet the dawn.
You won't find me or my family,
Grazin' 'cross your lawn!
HABITAT, HABITAT!
You can't do without your HABITAT!
It's always nice to cut out the fat,
But you can't when you don't have a HABITAT
(You can't when you don't have a HABITAT)
I've appeared at many lectures
I have been through every zoo,
But I can't wait to get home again,
I miss my mountain view!
Honey, I'm comin' home!
We need the trees to clean the air,
And that you can't dispute.
The whole thing has been studied
At the science institute.
So leave me to my hollow tree,
And saves me the commute.
Or you will find me one-of-a-kind
Without a substitute.
HABITAT, HABITAT !
You cant do without your HABITAT!
It's nice to adjust the thermosta-a-a-a-t.
But you can't when you don't have a HABITAT
(You can't when you don't have a HABITAT)
So if everybody would make a pact,
To leave my Douglas Fir intact,
I will not be so matter of fact,
Doing these enviro-mer-cials
Stuck in this endangered species act
HABITAT, HABITAT!
You can't do without your HABITAT!
