ARTHROPODS SONG

Hello everybody!

We have enjoyed watching "Baby you're an arthropod" video, and as promised, here is the video, the link to the video, and the lyrics. Read it carefully and pay attention to the information it has about arthropods characteristics such as exoskeletons and jointed legs:

Just for your information here is the meaning of some important words:

chitin = a tough substance in the outer protective covering of insects and animals such as shrimp and lobster.

stridulating =to produce a shrill, grating sound by rubbing together certain parts of the body like the crickets do.

Well, here is the song, sing it learn and enjoy!

Do you ever feel like a stinky shoe

Is blocking out the sun and next will step on you?

Do you ever feel

like a roach motel was built just for you?

Yeah, you’re its clientele?

Do you ever feel

like you give folks the creeps?

Six-year-olds all scream…

grown men shut their eyes and weep

You may not have a spine, but lift antennae high,

‘Cause you’re important guys!

You could be living under a log

or high on a hog.

Come on out of that bog!

BUT WATCH OUT FOR THAT FROG!

‘Cause, Baby you’re an arthropod.

Shake your segmented bod!

Let the people go! EW! EW! EW!

Yeah, we all depend on you, you, you

Your legs are jointed and, oh so adaptable

That exoskeleton, so tough and practical

It’s made of chitin [kai’-tin] strong

but it gets tight, you know

So you bust out of it

and then a new one grow

rockin’ the ocean floor

with pincers big and strong

Your feet were first on land took

to air before too long

You all pollinate the plants,

you feed the human race

you eat most anything

and go most anyplace

So spread your wings, you’re nature’s kings

Let your stridulating ring

BUT PLEASE DON’T STING!

‘cause, Baby you’re an arthropod.

Shake your segmented bod!

Crabs, spiders, and bees, bees, bees.

Shrimp, grasshopper, and millipedes

zoom, zoom, zoom

Yeah! You buzz around my room, room, room

Here comes Mommy with a broom, broom, broom….

Better get out of here SOON! SOON!  SOON!

‘Cause, Baby you’re an arthropod.

Mother Nature’s go-to squad.

Let the people go “Gross, gross, gross!”

‘Cause without you we’d be toast, toast, toast!

Woo! Baby you’re an arthropod.

Shake your segmented bod!

Yeah! You make me go, “Whoa, whoa, whoa!”

So many kinds of you to know, know, know
