Billy B. - The Natural Science Song and Dance Man

On the limbs of trees, on the trunk at every height,
in the canopy, grow the epiphytes.
Roots hanging in the air, leaves competing for the sun,
flowers blooming everywhere, critters pollinate each one.

CHORUS
Nutrients supplied by the dust blown on the wind.
Water rolling off of the bark, epiphytes will soak it in.
Sprouting in the notches of the limbs both long and short,
epiphytes use the tree only for support,
epiphytes use the tree only for support.

Epiphytes are plants, growing in the trees
collecting pools of water, for whole communities.
Birds, and butterflies, spiders, frogs, and snakes
use the habitat epiphytes can make.

CHORUS
