'Circle Of Poo'
South Park (Related Recordings) · Other Songs - South Park (Related Recordings)
And that's how the cycle happens each and everyday
Just look at the green, green grass and the birds up in the sky
It's all here because of poo and now I'll tell you why -
Grass is eaten by the cattle
Which is eaten by women and men
Defuses with their body and becomes poo again
And that poo goes through the sewer
Which is tucked into the sea
and it's eaten by the plankton which becomes the fishes
We got bigger fish with the poo still inside
Swims up near the shore and gets eaten alive
By a grizzly bear that poos on a dead piece of sand
So that it can spring to the life and become poo for the land!
It's the poo of the antelope, the poo of the giraffe
Which crawls up to the earth and becomes the blades of grass
The grass is eaten by the cattle, which comes out the other end
To make poo for the humans and start all over again.
Mr: Hankey: You see son? You're not an insignificant part of life!
You are life!
Cornwallis: But how can I be that blade of grass? Or a human?
I don't control what they do.
Mr. Hankey: Just like your heart beats without you thinking about it.
So do your giraffes and humans do what they do. Without you even
thinking about it! But it is all one life form. It is all you.
Cornwallis: I think I see now -
I'm the poo of the antelope, that flows onto the ground.
Mr. Hankey: Which becomes the grass of tomorrow.
Cornwallis: Yeah.
Mr. Hankey: Which the critters turn around.
Cornwallis: And I'm the leg of a leopard and the wings of a hen.
Both: Which becomes the inner part of humans and turn back to
poo again. That's the circle, the circle of poooooooooooo.
