I’ll tell you what is wet, what is really really wet.
So, tell me what is wet, what is really really wet.

Tune: Say it Aint So by Weezer

Somebody's subsoil
Is beneath the topsoil
Somebody's bedrock is at the bottom
Guess I'll just open my eyes

Somebody's duff is made of organics
Insects and worms break the nutrients down
And I say
Pore spaces are the little holes between the particles
To let the water in for the plants

Say it ain't so
Topsoil is a life maker
Say it ain't so
We've got to protect the Earth

Dear SL, I write you
In spite of days of silence
You taught me field study
I learned so much from you
I remember sandy loam 
Is the best soil for Namanu
Sand, silt, clay
That's the way
Namanu's topsoil supports life

Say it ain't so
Topsoil is a life maker
Say it ain't so
We've got to protect the Earth

Tune: Sabotage by The Beastie Boys

You can't deny it, don't even try it
Let's get one thing straight, soil is your fate
You can't keep living on this planet here
Unless you're soil rich, hold it near and dear

So what's the deal, you ask me "why?"
"What has dirt got to do with my life?"
Oh my my! You don't know why?
I'm telling y'all, that's soil sabotage

So, so, so, so listen up 'cause healthy soil ain't nothin'
It'll shut us down with the loss of enough 'n
It's true: if it's gone we're gone
Take action now, so life goes on and on

'Cause what you see is not all you get
It feeds us all and even more yet
You're livin' in a way that's a mirage
If not treating soil well - soil sabotage

How our backs could end up against a wall?
Wastin' soil, that's sabotage
Crushin' soil, that's sabotage
Trashin' soil, that's sabotage
Harms us all, soil sabotage

Don't take food for granted, it must be planted
All things must eat from what's beneath our feet
"But I can't stand veggies; I put meat in my face"
Meat eats plants; plants nutrients held by soil in place

So make no mistakes; we must get a handle
Be soil rich or else you'll blow out our candle
Don't live in a way that's a mirage
If you do anything, stop soil sabotage!

Tune: Intergalactic by The Beastie Boys

Igneous, Sedimentary, Sedimentary, Metamorphic
Igneous, Sedimentary, Sedimentary, Metamorphic
Igneous, Sedimentary, Sedimentary, Metamorphic
Igneous, Sedimentary, Sedimentary, Metamorphic

​Cycle keeps spinning, cycle keeps spinning
​Cycle keeps spinning, cycle keeps spinning
​From end to beginning, from end to beginning
​From end to beginning, from end to beginning

Well, now, don't you tell rocks to stop
Earth churns 'em out around the clock
For years beyond what you can dial
Endless rock cycle, so versatile
Soil profile, I said
It always goes down to a bedrock pile
Sometimes it's quick, sometimes it takes a while
If you're gonna doubt then you're in denial

Sedimentary is like a child
From other types of rock out in the wild
By climate they are now in trial
Layers in order like a history file
Weathered Particles are made mobile
To resist sedimentation is futile
Lithified to a form sessile
Fossils cast in to exile

Igneous, Sedimentary, Sedimentary, Metamorphic
Igneous, Sedimentary, Sedimentary, Metamorphic​

Igneous rocks let off steam
Exploding volcanoes lahar the whole scene
Molten rock fills the earth machine
It comes spilling forth from every seam
Radiation keeps it churnin' keeps it churnin' routine
So hot you must cower, too deep to be seen
With pyroclastic bombs we are too keen
Gonna change the world, it's part of the scheme

Metamorphic is the butterfly dream
Low onto high grade is the theme
Foliation, cause the rocks break clean
Heat and pressure are what you need
Changes underground makes crystals that gleam
Chemical alteration, the routine
At Outdoor School, you know you'll be
All about Soil Field Study

Igneous, Sedimentary, Sedimentary, Metamorphic
Igneous, Sedimentary, Sedimentary, Metamorphic
Igneous, Sedimentary, Sedimentary, Metamorphic
Igneous, Sedimentary, Sedimentary, Metamorphic

Mmmm, ROCK!

Tune: No Scrubs by TLC

A slug is a kind of gastropod
and is also known as a mollusk
Always slimin' on everything
and just sits on the hike trail

So yes - I think you're a bummer
No - I don't wanna touch your slime
And no - I don't wanna meet you nowhere
No - I don't want none of your time

And no - I don't want no slug
Got one foot be he ain't got no knee
Breathing out the pneumostome side
Too slow to hide - wavin' those eyes at me

I don't want no slug
Got one foot be he ain't got no knee
Breathing out the pneumostome side
Too slow to hide - wavin' those eyes at me

But a slug is a branch of their family tree
from an unknown wormlike ancestor
He can crawl across glass and he likes to eat trash,
gets caught in plastic traps

So yes - I think you're a bummer
No - I don't wanna touch your slime
And no - I don't wanna meet you nowhere
No - I don't want none of your time

And no - I don't want no slug
Got one foot be he ain't got no knee
Breathing out the pneumostome side
Too slow to hide - wavin' those eyes at me

I don't want no slug
Got one foot be he ain't got no knee
Breathing out the pneumostome side
Too slow to hide - wavin' those eyes at me

I don't want no slug
Slug is a guy can't get no love from me
Hangin' out the passenger side
of his best friend's ride - tryin' to holler at me
