Home on the Sea
Listen Now!
Lyrics
Sing Along Now!
Oh find me a home where invertebrates roam
Where they live without backbones all day
And maybe you've heard an invertebrate word
In each habitat life has its way
Now sponges reside below the tide
Attached to a rock in the sea
And in tidal pools are many house rules
It’s home for sea anemones
The arthropods have hard outer bods
Like crabs that scavenge for snacks
Some live in the rocks, some live in the sand
Some carry their house on their backs
Jellyfish ride on the currents and tides
On the wide ocean range traveling
The ocean is home where they float and they roam
Capture food that their tentacles sting
CHORUS:
Home, home on the sea
They're neighbors to you and to me
We live side by side through each turning tide
We're all part of a community
Below the waves in a small rocky cave
An octopus sleeps in her den
And clams make a shell in which they can dwell
In a cobblestone beach, burrowed in
The nudibranch likes to give thanks,
For his house is among seaweed beds
And mussels hold tight with all of their might
To rocks attached by a strong thread
In the rocky spray zone lives a family well know,
The barnacles come out to play
They build on the rocks, watch out where you walk,
You could crush the plate houses they’ve made.
(CHORUS)
So everyday as you go your way
To venture, explore and to roam
There's a welcome mat at each habitat
Just remember its somebody's home
(CHORUS)
Home on the Sea
