THE OTHER SIDE

Tiny Tim


One eye is brown.
The other eye is brown.
I am a fish.
I swim around.

You say I'm lost -
I disagree.
The map has changed,
and with it, me.

Gliding through the seaweed,
what strange things I see below!
Cars are waiting, windshields wiping,
nowhere left to go!  -Oh!

The ice caps are melting,
Ho ho ho ho ho!
All the world is drowning,
Ho ho ho ho ho ho.
The ice caps are melting,
the tide is rushing in.
All the world is drowning,
to wash away the sin.

The seagull flies in search of land.
Children hide beneath the sand,
while floating toys come crashing down.
I play the fish, I swim around.

Gliding through the seaweed,
what strange things I see below.
Cars are waiting, windshields wiping,
nowhere left to go!  -Oh!

The ice caps are melting,
Ho ho ho ho ho!
All the world is drowning,
Ho ho ho ho ho ho.
The ice caps are melting,
the tide is rushing in.
All the world is drowning,
to wash away the sin.

 

Now my dear friends, it doesn't matter where you are. You could be here, in this room. 

You could be driving along the highway. You could be there by your TV set. It doesn't 

matter where you are, I want you to think about those ice caps, how they're melting, how 

they're coming down and all the cities are sinking in the sea, and I want you to sing 

about those ice caps in the next chorus, because we're, all we have is greentime because 

the ice caps are melting!
 
Oh, look!

The ice caps are melting,
Ho ho ho ho ho!
All the world is drowning,
Ho ho ho ho ho ho.
The ice caps are melting,
the tide is rushing in.
All the world is drowning,
to wash away the sin.
