Story Behind The Song
ABC/Disney asked that I pen a bunch of songs for a environmentally focused kids TV show they are releasing later this year. This is one that wasn't used and available for licensing. I own this 100% and have no problems doing re writes if it suits.
Song Description
The case for learning the invaluable and over looked contributions of several of our insect buddies and how their survival on Earth is even more important than Man's.

Lyrics
WE ARE THE BUGS
Chorus
We are the bugs, yes, we are the bugs
Time to respect your pal the insect, yes, we are the bugs
'Cause we are the bugs, hooray for the bugs
Time to respect your pal the insect, yes, we are the bugs
Verse
Baby, I'm the bee, I'm the one who makes you honey
I pollinate the blossoms on the flowers and the trees
We're the beetles and the ants digging tunnels through the soil
Bringing water to the plants giving air to the world
So we share our buggly love
Pre Chorus
Albert Einstein said if we should go I could mean the end
And then you're not the type who'd squish your friends
Chorus
We are the bugs, yes, we are the bugs
Time to respect your pal the insect, yes, we are the bugs
Verse 2
Mr. Fly's appetites are really rather crude
Don't recoil but his poo brings nutrients to the soil
I don't mean to brag (I don't wanna brag)
'Cause a braggin' bugs a drag (a braggin' bugs a drag)
The words I sing (the words I sing are true)
But the world needs us even more than you (more than you)
We show some buggly love
Pre Chorus
Before you use that pesticide
Think again and realize that bug may well be a weird little friend
Chorus
Bridge
Give the bug a break, won't you give the bug a break
Show some buggly love,won't you give the bug a break
Give the bug a break, won't you give the bug a break
Show some buggly love,won't you give the bug a break
Pre Chorus 3
Imagine this if you dare
The world is ours, it's ours to share
Where everything is part of one
And one is part of everything
And it's wonderful to be one part
Of everything and everyone
Chorus
Bridge
Give the bug a break, won't you give the bug a break
(who wah knew that you)
Show some buggly love,won't you give the bug a break
(could be so crucial)
Give the bug a break, won't you give the bug a break
(the little things you do)
Show some buggly love, won't you give the bug a break
(who wa knew would be so useful)
