Professor Jablonski has interesting thoughts Mr. Krulwich has lots to report Another extinction's a worrisome thing, with all these species we'll lose Professor Jablonski says some creatures are weeds They grab hold of life like a weed When his examples were weeds, then I had to agree But if you talk metaphorically There's no bigger weed than me King Weed King Weed That's what they would call us human beings King Weed King Weed But no one'll be around to disagree with me King Weed Roaches survived five extinctions before I guess they are good, but I don't know what for Dandelions can adapt and renew Seems like they grow best right under my shoe What about the adaptable and rugged housefly? Their life is so lousy they're too tired to die Mice can survive another ice age intact A mouse can't survive a single night with my cat Now house cats, they're also right here on the list Good luck to a cat with no Kibbles 'n' Bits Sparrows will survive, in the sky they ascend If you like eating worms, then I guess you'll have friends Worms, oh yes worms, he said they'll be around And they're living like kings in their holes in the ground There you have it, Mr. Koppel, that is our report As subjective as it might seem Professor Jablonski's a very kind man But don't underestimate the King Weed King Weed That's what they would call us human beings King Weed King Weed But no one'll be around to disagree with me King Weed |
