lyrics

RAINFOREST SYMPHONY
By Dana Cohenour ©Dana Cohenour; 2020

Let’s take a little trip, just you and me
And listen to the rainforest symphony
Climb in our canoe and paddle on
The mighty river Amazon
We’ll say hello as we float along
And hear the animals sing their song
See their homes in the canopies
Of the beautiful rainforest trees

We’re paddlin’, paddlin’ on down the mighty Amazon
The rainforest chorus sings to us as we go along
The animals livin’ by the river don’t have another place to be
We need to save the home of the animals… it’s up to you and me
We need to save the rainforest… you and me

Movin’ down the river to the melody
Of a scarlet macaw, singing in a rubber tree
Capybaras bark to a bossa beat
Cicadas buzz, yeah the groove is sweet
We hear the hiss of an anaconda
Scampering steps of a green iguana
Jaguar’s pouncin’, hear him growlin’
Howler monkeys never stop howlin’

Paddlin’, paddlin’ on down the mighty Amazon
The rainforest chorus sings to us as we go along
The trees are the lungs of our planet, making air for us to breathe
We need to save the trees… it’s up to you and me
We need to save the rainforest… you and me

Comin’ ‘round the bend, I think I see
A sloth hangin’ loose in a cecropia tree
Then snap, snap! The caiman’s up from a nap
A red-eyed tree frog just hopped in my lap
Listen to the flap of butterfly wings
And the song the piha birdie sings
The rhythm of the rain drops all around
The rainforest symphony of sound

We’re paddlin’, paddlin’ on down the mighty Amazon
The rainforest chorus sings to us as we go along
The trees and animals need our voices, stand and sing out loud
We can save the animals and trees, it’s up to you and me
We can save the rainforest… you and me
We can save the rainforest… you and me
We can save the rainforest… you and me
