What About Man?
Save the ducks, save the whales
Save the turtles, save the snails
Save the birds, save the bees
Save the forest, save the trees
Save the bear, clean the air
There''s pollution everywhere!
Save the deer, please don''t shoot
Save the owl, who gives a hoot
Save the monkey, save the mink
Save the condor, who''s almost extinct
Save the mouse, forget the house!
Where do we draw the line?
Save the water, save the earth
But what about man? what is he worth?
