| The FBI (Fungus, Bacteria & Invertebrates) by The Banana Slug String Band CHORUS: The FBI... whenever something dies The FBI... is there on the scene The FBI... is working overtime The FBI, oh to pick those bones clean (2x) Fungus... Fungus! Bacteria... Bacteria! Invertebrates... Invertebrates! The FBI There's fungus all among us and it's breaking things down Returning nutrients into the fertile ground Millions of mycelium underground that's why When you hold a handful of the earth you hold the FBI CHORUS There are millions of bacteria in that soil over there Microscopic life is in all water, land, and air You should know that they are there though they are too small for your eye These are the secret agents of the FBI CHORUS Insects, bugs, slugs, and worms are working night and day The invertebrate crew are special agents of decay To remove whatever's rotten they will hop, crawl, hide, or fly Enforcing nature's laws, they are the FBI CHORUS Lay down very still in the duff and learn their ways Lift up a rotten log and you will surely be amazed Go creeping through the forest, learn to see and be a spy In search of evidence of the FBI CHORUS Copyright 1989 The Banana Slug String Band |
