David Van Driessen - I Heard the Beavers Screaming lyrics

rate me

I heard the beavers screaming

I heard the butterflies cry

I heard the trees a-dreaming

Of moving to the sky

I heard the toucans sobbing

I heard the wallabees wail

I felt the forest throbbing

With the shrieking of the snails

Chorus

People, people, people, people

People can’t you see

The earth’s the place where nature lives

Let’s love her tenderly

I heard the mountains bawling

I heard the horses bleat

I heard the woodchucks calling

To the swallows in the street

All the creatures of the canyon

All the creatures of the sea

For all the hell we’ve caused them

They won’t be friends with me.

Chorus
