Eco-Songs: Oysters Do

5th graders, being at the top of the elementary school food chain, have a savvy-ness and sophistication all of their own. Ours decided to write their Bay Week 2010 Song with Linda Richards around the song they had been singing in Spanish class called "Eres Tu."


Oysters Rule
(sung to the tune of “Eres Tu”)

They have 2 big muscles,
Oysters do, Oysters do
That keep their shells closed for protection.
They start off as spat
Not like you, not like you.
They clamp onto one thing or another.
Chorus

Oysters Rule
And they filter out the bay.
Oysters Rule
They’re at the bottom of the food chain!

Oysters taste good fried
Yes they do, Oysters do.
Three inches or more determines gender.
50 gallons of water’s
What one cleans, What one cleans.
We have to remember oysters rule.

Chorus

Oysters Rule
And they filter out the bay.
Oysters Rule
They’re at the bottom of the food chain! 

Song written by Linda Richards with the Eagle Cove 5th grade graduating class of 2010.
