Earth Day

Oh, today is the day that we celebrate Earth

As we plant lots of flowers and trees

And we sing of the rain forests, deserts and hills

Not to mention the glaciers and seas

So I think that it’s odd on this day of all days

That a group from the Netherlands said

That they’re looking for people to leave Mother Earth

And to move to the planet that’s red

Yes, they’re moving to Mars, or at least that’s the plan

And once they arrive there they’ll stay

But I think that it’s rude to be turning your backs

And rejecting the Earth on her Day

So just go on and take off and fly out to space

And abandon your planet of birth

Just remember you leave behind people like me

Who will gladly inherit the Earth
