Billy B. - The Natural Science Song and Dance Man

Late in Autumn, the cold wind blows
some animals grow fur and some just go
stomachs are hungry, brains say don’t wait
there’s more food further south,
it’s time to migrate

Hibernation is a special kind of sleep
the circulation slows
so does the breath and the heartbeat
reptiles dig down below the frost line
if they don’t dig down deep enough
it’ll be their last time,
they’ll freeze and explode

The animals know, what they gotta do
and where they go
Now those who stick around
might change the color of their fur
there won’t be much to eat
and what there is they won’t prefer
They’ll take chances,
chances that get them trapped
and if they live then they?ll successfully adapt

The animals know, what they gotta do
and where they go
So they migrate or hibernate,
yea settle down for that nap,
and if they don’t migrate or hibernate,
oh they better adapt, grow some fur…..

They’re flying north, they’re swimming south
they’re digging holes and stuffing their mouths
they’re laying eggs, they’re covering their range
they’re animals responding as the seasons change
