Mr. Parr - Ecology Song lyrics

All the life we have seen
Interactions we study
The air, sand, water in a stream
Abiotic that we see
Now trees, animals, you know
They’re all biotic if it grows

Organisms we’ve been told
All same species, young and old
Population-same kind in place
Community- (pop’s) populations in same space
Ecosystems so you know
Nonliving and all that grows

Animals fighting for it all their life
They are struggling so they don’t die
That’s how an organism stays alive
Producers and consumers
Webs and chains, decomposers

Competition for space and food they fight
Predation it is to take a life
And then therе’s symbiosis all three kinds
Mutualism, parasitism
Third in chain, commensalism

Adaptations they will thrive
All that hеlps them to survive
Behavioral to hunt at night
Physical-fur, teeth, large eyes
Organisms have a role
A niche that they do call their own

Animals fighting for it all their life
They are struggling so they don’t die
That’s how an organism stays alive
Producers and consumers
Webs and chains, decomposers

Competition for space and food they fight
Predation it is to take a life
And then there’s symbiosis all three kinds
Mutualism, parasitism
Third in chain, commensalism

Producers and consumers
Webs and chains, decomposers

Mutualism, parasitism
Third in chain, commensalism

Symbiosis interactions at least one bestowed
Mutualism both are happy something
Gained by both
Parasitism benefit's parasite not host
Commensalism, one helped, other neutral

It’s like a lion or shark hunting for a soul
Predation, prey and
Predator-populations controlled
Competition is the struggle to
Survive I’m told
Like food, water, shelter, watch them battle

Animals fighting for it all their life
They are struggling so they don’t die
That’s how an organism stays alive
Producers and consumers
Webs and chains, decomposers

Competition for space and food they fight
Predation it is to take a life
And then there’s symbiosis all three kinds
Mutualism, parasitism
Third in chain, commensalism

Producers and consumers
Webs and chains, decomposers

Mutualism, parasitism
Third in chain, commensalism

Animals fighting for it all their life
They are struggling so they don’t die
That’s how an organism stays alive
