Too Many People (Live)

Too many people having too many babies

Got to love them babies but there's

Too many people having too many babies

Got to love them babies but it's out of control

And it's a singalong!

Too many people having too many babies

Got to love them babies—very important part

Got to love them babies but there's

Too many people having too many babies

Got to love them babies but it's out of control

Try it

Too many people having too many babies

Got to love them babies but there's

Too many people having too many babies

Got to love them babies but it's out of control

Adam and Eve time on their hands

Hyperactive glands room to expand

When they began begatting they begatted to excess

Eschewing tactics prophylactic now we're in a mess

Because there's too many people having too many babies

Got to love them babies but there's

Too many people having too many babies

Got to love them babies but it's out of control

When Columbus sailed the ocean we were four hundred million

Industrial revolution still under a billion

The Great Depression hit two point one billion

Now we're pushing the millennium, six billion and counting

Civil wars rumbling, refugees stumbling

Forests falling, deserts creeping

Traffic crawling, resources depleting

Shoppers shopping for pleasures fleeting

When there's too many people having too many babies

Got to love them babies but there's

Too many people having too many babies

Got to love them babies but it's out of control

Once I lived in the city it was too big and noisy

So I moved to the country to stop and smell the rosies

All my city friends joined me and put up nice new housies

Now it's too big and noisy think I'll move to the country

Some say, no, no no no no, it's not the population

It's consumption, pollution, unequal distribution

I say that's so but it's a simple equation

Population times pollution equals no solution

When there's too many people having too many babies

Got to love them babies but there's

Too many people having too many babies

Got to love them babies but it's out of control

If you are a child, welcome to the world

This blue-green earth is your gift by birth

May you rock to its rhythms, may you sing it's anthems

And if you have babies please stop at two

Because there's too many people having too many babies

Got to love them babies but there's

Too many people having too many babies

Got to love them babies but it's out of control

Too many people having too many babies

Got to love them babies but there's

Too many people having too many babies

Got to love them babies but please stop at two

Thank you!
