Wouldn't it be Dgreat to see the African plains
Before they lay them to waste and only the Gbones remain

With an elephant F#mgun

Why do we always assume the Dplanet is ours to Gruin
F#mOh what Glegacy we're leaving behind
What a legacy

To be caught up by their necks in their greedy Gfishing nets

  DThe dolphins and the Emwhales still left Dalive
