Post by bunniefuu »

Yeah, it's a real cat's meow.

But you know, Mouse, it ain't always been

such a dandy. Now let's get a wiggle.

Lily Delight, your paintbrush is dripping

white.

It's floating in the river. Backyard

barber, those clippings fly down the

drain.

It ends up in the river. A

swanky old blankie.

A trash can or two.

Hey there, get on board with Fat Cat

Blue.

Little Dutchie, those fish lay their eggs

upstream. Slime they go, they're swimming

down the river.

They can't swim up the river. Hey there,

Skipper, that slime's blooming

everywhere. Down it goes, it's going down

the river. It's floating in the river.

Now that's a clean clipper,

Skipper. A fish ladder

too Hey, there.

Get on board with Fat Cat Blue. We're

gonna listen to Fat Cat Blue

Now, for hundreds of years, these waters

were sparkly cleaved. Hey, that's cool,

Fat Cat Blue

So, what happened?Well, I'll tell you.

All of a sudden, folks started building

over there. And making a dog-awful

mess over there. And after a while, down

it goes, down it goes, going

down. Drifting through the estuary,

tributary, stream of brook, and through

the prairie, down. To the river.

Going down. Through the

river. Going down. It's floating in

the river. Getting on board with

Come on now, we're not done yet. Let's

get a wiggle. Gizmo maker, that's really

quite some toxic stew. Down

it goes It's going down the river It's

floating in the river Landfill Baron,

that rubbish has gone adrift. Down it

goes It's going down the river It's

floating in the river Recycle

that rubbish and

clean up that stew

Hey there. Get on board with

Fat Cat Blue! Oh.

Well, Mouse, I figure we should call it a

day. You see, we got a lot of work to do

tomorrow to make sure that this here

river never gets like that again. Yeah,

Cat, that river is quite a dandy.

That beautiful river

We leave it to you

That's why you got to get on board. With

Fat Cat Blue.
