Lyrics

The zebra has stripes, the leopard has spots,
There's a pattern on the tortoise and the ocelot;
The rhino's got horns, the elephant a trunk
The kangaroo a pocket, the camel a hump.
That's DIVERSITY, DIVERSITY - clap,clap

The monkey when threatened gives a warning call,
The porcupine rolls herself into a ball,
The octopus hides i n a cloud black as ink,
The skunk lets go a terrible stink.
That's DIVERSITY, DIVERSITY - clap, clap

All these are spirits sacred to the earth,
So honor and protect them for all you're worth.

The eagle hangs high, the bat upside down,
The bear dozes off to sleep all winter long;
The whale sings soprano, the frog sings bass,
The beaver builds dams and changes the place.
That's DIVERSITY, DIVERSITY - clap, clap

O what a wonder an animal can be:
To stir the imagination, set the spirit free.

The lion will roar, the horse will neigh,
The pig will squeal, the donkey bray.
The lamb will bleat, the cow will moo,
The wolf will howl, the dove will coo.
That's DIVERSITY, DIVERSITY - clap, clap

The deer will run, the seal will dive,
The duck will waddle, the swan will glide,
The rooster will strut, the snail will creep
The rabbit will hop, the dolphin leap.
That's DIVERSITY, DIVERSITY - clap, clap

The mayfly lives a few hours,
Some turtles a century.
That's DIVERSITY, DIVERSITY - clap, clap
