lyrics

Oh the Polar Bears

They say the world is dying
And there’s people crying
In just about every place you go
And it’s doom and gloom …
In your living room …
When you turn on the news at night

But all’s not lost
If you give a toss
We can make a lot of changes you know
If we close our eyes …
And we realise…
It’s us who can undo everything we messed up

Oh the polar bears
And the old March hare
Would prefer it if we turned off the light
And when we give birth
To our boys and girls
We can make little boys who like to do the washing up

You know the other evening
I heard some children singing
So sweetly from their little hearts they sang
And I thought why
Do our hearts grow dry?
When we’re born with everything there is to know about love

I’m not saying that
We have to live in mud huts
But there must some little things we can do
To make the world grow greener
Stop people getting meaner
And we can make little boys who like to do the washing up

Oh the polar bears
And the old March hare
Would prefer it if we turned off the light
And when we give birth
To our boys and girls
We can make little boys who like to do the washing up
