Lyrics
Polar Bear:
If I can sit here in my shades
With a glass of lemonade
And enjoy a bit of sun:
That’s fun.

Penguin:
Oh yes I know the sky is blue
But the rays are coming through
Cos the ozone hole’s appeared
It’s feared.

All:
It’s cool, it’s cool to be a bear.
But you just don’t seem to care
Just sitting, sitting with a drink
But you never seem to think
Enjoy, enjoy the lovely view
But what you gonna do?
And laze the hours away.
But the Earth needs you today!

Polar Bear:
It’s nice to be a polar bear
Cos I haven’t got a care
When relaxing in the pool
It’s cool.

Penguin:
Oh yes I know the water’s nice,
But we’re losing all the ice
Cos the temperature’s increased
You beast!

All:
It’s cool, it’s cool to be a bear
But you just don’t seem to care
Just sitting, sitting with a drink
But you never seem to think
Enjoy, enjoy the lovely view
But what you gonna do?
And laze the hours away. But the Earth needs you today!
But the Earth needs you today!
But the Earth needs you today!
But the Earth needs you today!
