Paradise Of Life

Trees so high, seems they could touch the sky
the air is filled with sounds
Keep your eyes both open wide
because there are creatures all around
We have to count the rare ones
which are written on our list
To make sure they're safe and sound.
Because we're conservationists
Up among canopy, and under lumpy logs
Looking for two legged humming-birds and four-legged frogs
We're seeking, we're searching, we're creepy crawly finders
Looking for six legged insects and eight legged spiders
Oh look, a baby Ocelot, a fierce forrest cat
With a streaky, stripy tail, and a sleeky, speckled back
A see-through butterfly, with hints of black and pink
Flying past, a sleepy sloth, catching forty winks
The amazon is huge
It almost seems unreal
A paradise of life
In the heart of Brazil
Two hundred inches of rainfall each year
And never under twenty degrees
More than half of the animals on earth
Live between these trees
Wow, a Kingfisher
Up among canopy, and under lumpy logs,
Looking for two legged humming-birds and four-legged frogs
We're seeking, we're searching, we're creepy crawly finders
Looking for six legged insects and eight legged spiders
Woah, look at that huge colony of Carpenter ants
they look like a living carpet
Betty, we've already seen ants, let's try and find something new
But, we haven't seen this kind of ant yet.
What? It's true there are thousands of different kinds
of ant species in the rainforest, like
Bullet ants, and turtle ants, and orange ants, and army ants
Honey coloured, trap jawed, long spined soldier ants
Acrobat ants, leaf-cutter ants, Anderra Ants, Inundap ants
Reddish brown, craggy bodied, hunchbacked worker ants
Up among canopy, and under lumpy logs
Looking for two legged humming-birds and four-legged frogs
We're seeking, we're searching, we're creepy crawly finders
Looking for six legged insects and eight legged spiders
The amazon is huge
It almost seems unreal
This paradise of life
In the heart of Brazil
Two hundred inches of rainfall each year
And never under twenty degrees
More than half of the animals on earth
Live between these trees
Live between these trees
Live between these trees
Live between
These
Trees
