Story Behind The Song
General encouragement to be nice to everything
Song Description
I used to travel past an old animal feeding trough on the A4 each day which is outside of Hyde Park in London and was incribed with the words, "Be Kind and Merciful to all animals". That's where the song comes from.

Lyrics
Be Kind and Merciful to all animals and every vegetable and each comestible
Be kind and Merciful in each dirigible in every vestibule this is desirable
Because so many lost souls, so many poisounous trolls
so very cancerously walk upon this granite and coal
but they must never take hold their darkness must be dissolved
they will be weeping and wailing and gnashing their dentures way down in the hole
Because such terrors prevail on a microbial scale
so many parasitic microscopic beetles and snails
so beat your breast bone and wail and what these horrors entail
for we all share one living body and that living body fails
be kind and merciful though you are miserable give love in bucketfuls life is inevitable
