CHORUS On your thin neck, your head moves all around to see your prey up ahead and your predators diving down. with a two and a half foot wingspan You wouldn’t want it flying ’round you, man. Oh, yes, they have the fossils to prove it was colossal. Do the dragonfly, Do the dragonflyĭragonflies lay eggs in the water eggs hatch out comes sons and daughters they live in the water for four or five years at the end of life they appear above the water, they grow wings and fly eat bugs, mate, lay eggs and die paleontologists figure there was never an insect bigger. I got you, you mosquito! got you, you bluebottle fly! got you, you big bumblebee! and I’ll eat you while I fly.
#Down in the swamp song full
Like a basket under you they’ll catch your prey in full flight.

Your six legs hang, ready and bent just right. And, man, you’ve got to fly to catch those insects you devour up to 30 miles an hour. The predator wants to get the prey, but the prey just wants to get away~ get away~ get away~ get awayĬHORUS Do the Dragonfly, Do the Dragonfly To do the dragonfly you’ve got to have 60,000 eyes. And if you’ve ever been hungry, then maybe you can understand” Why some animals are predators and some animals are prey. So I’m going so catch him and eat him if I can. Yes, the fox wants to get that duck, but the duck just wants to get away~ get away~ get away~ get awayĪnd so the gang of us -turned round and headed home- and we were thinking about -something they hadn't known- Animals eat each other -it happens everyday- cause some are predators -and others are the prey-Īnd the predators say “I’m not mean, I’m just hungry- hungry as can be, That prey looks so cute to you, but he looks like food to me. And if you’ve ever been hungry, then maybe you can understand” Why the fox is the predator and the duck is the prey.

The ducks came paddling up.- Then from across the pond, -They heard a duck like scream.- A fox was chasing ducks -They said, “That fox is mean.”- But the fox said, “I’m not mean, I’m just hungry- hungry as can be, That duck looks cute to you, but he looks like food to me. Yes, food flowing where and when the tree needs it most. It becomes other sugars in the bark and is stored as starch. Now when the leaves get sunshine and water, too and carbon dioxide from me and you they make that mighty sugar people call Glucose.

Now, where the vapor slips out, carbon dioxide slips in just as the leaf releases water’s oxygen it makes it free for you and me it’s the living example of harmony so next time you think everything’s all wrong go breathe amongst the leaves you’re gonna know you belong ( go breathe amongst the leaves you’re gonna know you belong ) Leaves use what they need to make food for the tree, and the rest is vaporized as it’s released. They travel just beneath the bark up into the leaves. Oh, minerals and water coming up from the ground, which is where the rain falls and the roots are found. You know it’s true, we’d all be through without the rock and roll of Photosynthesis. Oh, Photosynthesis, yes, photosynthesis it’s a process that let’s life exist - that photosynthesis. They get excited when the leaf gets lighted and become the tree’s food factories. There are millions of them in every leaf. What keeps the leaves green and the sunlight stashed are those chlorophyll containers called chloroplasts. ( green leaves,green leaves,green leaves,green leaves) Only they can make food with sunshine energy. And our main connection to the sun are the green leaves. Well, the sun comes streaming out of the sky, making everything grow and keeping us alive.
