Lyrics

Sing Along Now!

IMG_0275_edited_edited_edited.jpg

Plant life grows with the help of the sun
That light energy to make a chemical reaction
Add minerals and water so plants can exist
Through a process called photosynthesis

CHORUS:
Oh that's so botanical
It's a plant process, photosynthesis

Chlorophyll makes a leaf green
It captures sunlight for energy
Add C02 and water, then you know
Chloroplasts make sugar so a plant can grow

(CHORUS)

Stoma are holes a leaf has everywhere
Breathing carbon dioxide gas
Out of the air
Through the holes breathing out what we breathe in
Making' 02 for me and you,
They give us oxygen

(CHORUS)

A typical life, when plants reproduce
They grow a stem, roots, shoots,
Leaves. flowers and the fruits
Microscopic plankton or monkey puzzle trees
To study plants, that's Botany

Oh, that's so botanical
It's a plant study of a plant you see
Botany!

That's Botany
