I Wanna Hear The Planet Sing

from Song​-​A​-​Day by Bill White

lyrics

i want to hear the planet singing
the seesaws and buzzsaws and birds
the cha chas the by laws and herds
of caskets and cradles and cries
i want to hear the songs oozing out of their eyes
and when the trolley car goes ding a ling
i want to hear the planet sing

i want to hear the birds and whales
Willie Loman and Soupy Sales
Lonesome cowboys Joe and Bert
The soldiers when they hit the dirt
The cops when they take LSD
The bingo champ on a shopping spree
The hound dog singing in the shower
The fart inside the seat of power

I want to hear the planet singing
The botwots and pot snots and cows
Jimbo who limbos his brows
the tortoise the porpoise the snake
the cook and the parakeet cake
the bees buzzing backwards in spring
ii want to hear the planet sing

i want to hear the river tell
the fishermen to go to hell
to watch the levetated lakes
puncture the air with ice cream stakes
i want to hear the gasping oil
vomit back into the soil
the asthematic snorkeling
i want to hear the planet sing
