CO2 - Jim And The Povolos

[edit lirik]

Carbon dioxide, CO2

Where does it come from and what does it do?

It’s a chemical compound, it’s all around

Trees breathe it in and we breathe it out

So why is that bad? (What’s wrong with that?)

The problem is that we’re producing too much of it



Like when you turn on a car (CO2)

You take a long shower (CO2)

See that smokestack? (CO2)

A coal power-plant burns



C-O-O, let’s add an L to that

From sea, oh, to shining sea

Altogether we can make the globe a little more cool…



Now when CO2 sits in the air

Traps heat from the sun in the atmosphere

And it puts a mighty strain on the delicate globe

You can sit and complain but you gotta have hope



‘Cause it dirties up the water (CO2)

The planet’s getting hotter (CO2)

Tell your son and daughter about (CO2)

Write your senator a letter about



C-O-O, let’s add an L to that

From sea, oh, to shining sea

Altogether we can make the globe a little more cool…



You can lose sleep over CO2

But here’s a couple things that we can do

Recycle at home or plant a tree

Or take a shorter shower and turn down the AC



Supe up your roof with solar panels

Turn down the heat and put on a flannel

Or bring your own bags to the grocery store

Or get around town in a hybrid car



When you’re heading to work or cruising to school

You can ride your bike and you can drive carpool

Carpool, carpool, carpool, carpool…



C-O-O, let’s add an L to that

From sea, oh, to shining sea

Altogether we can make the globe a little more cool…
