Mayflies…Where have they gone?
Mayflies…used to live in this pond.

Stoneflies…Where have they gone?
Stoneflies…used to live in this pond.

Caddisflies…Where have they gone?
Caddisflies …used to live in this pond.

Chorus:
Listen to what they say to me and you
Listen to what they say to do
Clean the water…keep the water clean
Clean the water…keep the water clean

You can tell the health of a stream or a pond...
.....

[Chorus]

Mayflies, Stoneflies and Caddisflies you see
Are good indicators of water quality...
.....

[Chorus]

If all you find in the stream are worms and snails...
.....

[Chorus]

Keep the water free of silt and pesticides...
.....

[Chorus]

Mayflies…Now they’re back where they should be
Mayflies…Livin’ in good water qulity

Stoneflies…Now they’re back where they should be
Stoneflies…Livin’ in good water qulity

Caddisflies…Now they’re back where they should be
Caddisflies…Livin’ in good water qulity

[Chorus]
