SONGS
Scat
CHORUS
        A               D
Scat makes the world go �round.
       E                                         A
The forest can�t survive if it�s not on the ground.
                             D
So when I step in a lump of scat,
     E                                                   A
I�ll jump for joy and tell myself that�s where it�s at.

A big cow pie does a wonderful deed,
Nutrients are what the soil needs,
The cow pie rots and goes back to the earth,
To make good soil for a new plant�s birth.

Coyote scat comes in a neat gray stick,
And if you look inside it, you will get a kick,
You�ll find bones and fur and claws
From all the little critters he had in his jaws.

Raccoon scat is red and rather neat,
�Cause Manzanita berries are their favorite treat,
It�s lumpy and easily crumbles away,
Decomposition starts and then you�ll say�

Bear scat will make you blink your eyes,
It�s big and you might find anything inside,
Buckeyes, insects or plastic bags,
Trash in scat will really make you gag.

Deer scat is round and raisin-like,
And you might see it while you�re on your hike.
It looks like a snack but please don�t bite,
�Cause eating scat will keep you up all night.

So next time you walk in a forest green,
Remember all different kinds of scat you�ve seen,
Please don�t scream, but get it off your shoe,
�Cause scat has some very special work to do.
