This Bark on Me Lyrics

This bark on me is my skin.
It keeps diseases out
and tree juices in
and protects me
from bugs, dust, and wind.
Even though sometimes
the bugs get in.
So the woodpeckers come
and they make their marks,
saying, “Knock, knock, knock!!
We’re hungry and there’s bugs in your bark.”
But, if the bark breaks,
disease may set in, killing me,
just because of broken skin,
just because of broken skin,
just because…
