Lyrics
THE SONG THAT SAVES THE PLANET (2014)
--Greg Swartzentruber & J. Wrabek
1.
G
This song’s got no uranium, or saturated fats;
G7
It eases global warming, you can feed it to your cats,
C
It supports the Constitution and religious freedom, too:
G
The focus groups say one of these is prob’ly right for you;
D
It’s sugar-free, and gluten-free, and dolphin-safe and stuff—
C G
And it’s gonna save the planet if you sing it loud enough.
2.
This song ain’t homophobic, the GMOs are gone,
It will fertilize your garden, you can spread it on your lawn;
It’s non-profit and non-partisan, and saved a million trees,
It’s friendly to the flowers, and it won’t kill off the bees;
It’s lacking in the fracking, and approved by God above--
And it’s gonna save the planet if you sing it loud enough.
CHORUS
C G
This song’s environmentally friendly, politically correct,
C G D
You can sing it in the shower for that dampening effect;
G C
It really shocks the neighbors when you do it in the buff [HOLD]
C G D G
And it’s gonna save the planet if you sing it loud enough.
3.
It’s organic and it’s vegan, and we left the fluoride out,
It still won’t give you cavities; it feels good in your mouth;
It’s low in carbohydrates, and the carbon footprint’s small,
It doesn’t burn up fossil fuel, has low cholesterol;
It’s gender-nonspecific, it spreads peace and hope and love—
And it’s gonna save the planet if you sing it loud enough.
CHORUS:
This song’s environmentally friendly, politically correct,
You can sing it in the shower for that dampening effect;
It really shocks the neighbors when you do it in the buff [HOLD]
And it’s gonna save the planet if you sing it loud enough.
TAG:
C G
You can sing it with your friends, you can sing it on your own,
C G D
You can call up your Congressman and sing it on the phone;
G C
Sing it with sincerity, and turn the volume up [HOLD]
G D G
‘Cause it’s gonna save the planet if you sing it loud enough;
C G D G
Yes, it’s gonna save the planet if you Sing… It… Loud… Enough.
