Eco-Songs: We've Been Workin' on the River


Got Music?

Here is the song that Linda Richards sang & wrote during Eagle Cove's Bay Week finale performance last Friday with the fourth graders (If you've been here before and been paying attention, you know that Linda Richards, of NY & environmental assembly fame, made her way to Pasadena, MD for two days to work some musical, ecological magic with the Eagle Cove students. Our grand finale was a great outdoor concert. Now all that's left to do is to write an Ode to Linda Richards!!

We've Been Workin' on the River 
(sung to the tune of "I've Been Workin' on the River")

We've been workin' on the River
Right next to the seas
We've been workin' on the River,
Planting S-A-V's
The grasses help to hid the creatures
Like crabs, minnows, eels and shrimp
The Bay has lots of ocean features
And Pollution's like an imp!

Sediment won’t you go-
Global warming won’t you go
Chemicals won’t you go away
(Repeat)

Someone’s helping wetlands get healthy
Someone’s helping wetlands I know
Someone’s helping wetlands get healthy
Mr. Decker and his kids will show---
By singing
G R E E N
G R E E N N N N
G R E E N
Working on the river will help!

FYI:   "S-A-Vs" = Submerged Aquatic Vegetation
Mr. Decker = Our Science teacher
Song, creation of Linda Richards & the 2009-2010 Eagle Cove School 4th graders.  To learn more about Linda, go to http://www.lindarichardsadventures.com/
