You know, today I met a fish
who was standing on my front porch
Flapping his flipper on my door
And he said, do you mind if I live
a while at your house?
Cause I can't live in the waters anymore.
Then I met a bird
who came choking through my window.
And he darn near passed out on my floor
And he also said,
do you mind if I stay awhile in your house?
Cause I can't stay in the air anymore
I dedicate this song
to the folks who brought
And to the ones who keep on throwin'
all that filthy black smoke in the air
And also dedicated to the birdin' fish
who now live here at my house
Cause they can't live out there any more
You know I also met a cow
who was standing in my kitchen
Yeah, that's right
Opening my refrigerator door
She also said, do you mind if I
fix myself a sandwich?
Cause the green grass just
ain't fit to eat no more
Well I dedicate this song
to the folks who brought us
dark brown dirt and water
And to the ones who keep on flowin'
all that filthy black smoke in the air
And also dedicated to me
and all the critters here in my house
Cause we can't live out there anymore
