They say the world is warming
That seems a good idea
It's meant to be a warning
I like summer all the year
I've never been a fan of snow
I slip around on ice
I only like my ice in drinks
White as snow? White as rice!
And yet I've read it every day
The news is getting worse
The dreadful news won't go away
The whole world's in a hearse
The seasides will be sinking
The capitals must move
Whatever were they thinking?
Go with the flow, get in the groove
The timeline is too short, not long
Jakarta's moved already
We now know what we're doing wrong
We must be firm and steady
Romantic Venice will be gone
Bye bye to Amersterdam
In fact the whole of Holland
No - the whole of the Netherlands!
The riverside parts of London
My God - oh what a mess
Calcutta, and the whole of Bangladesh
I'm fanning my distress
I know it's after we have gone
But for our grandchild's sake
Think of the choices we must make
The action we must take
We have too many people
Waste not, want not, re-sell, don't sell
It's not just me, see the BBC
Yes, check them out as well.
