Let the Wetlands Stand
Song for Teaching About Preserving the Envirnoment
The Banana Slug String Band


The Banana Slug String Band performs this song on We All Live Downstream

Wetland life is really the best
Migrating birds stop here to nest
It’s a restaurant and a fine hotel
It’s a habitat that serves life well

There are wetlands the whole world round
In every continent and country wetlands can be found

Chorus:
They’re the link between water and land
Hold on to our wetlands
Let our wetlands stand.
They’re the link between water and land
Hold on to our wetlands
Let our wetlands stand.

There are wetlands inland and out by the sea
There’s a marsh, a swamp and an estuary...
.....

There are many names for wetlands its plain to see
But one thing they have in common is hydrology

[Chorus]

If the water table’s high or the water table’s low
It soaks it up like a sponge or it lets it go...
.....

Wetlands aren’t wastelands as some have said
They’re a vital part of our watershed

[Chorus]

Bridge:
Our wetlands disappear each year...
.....

More than before we know for sure
they’re more than mud and sand...
.....

When you go to the wetlands, get down low
Put your feet in the mud let it ooze between your toes...
.....

Find a wetland near you and go there today...
