Only You

1.

Only you
can prevent forest fires
Only we
sell your trees to timber buyers

Though we sell them at a loss
it's the best that we can do
We're the Forest Service
we rip off only you

2.

Only you
have no say in our affairs
unless, of course
you own preferred stock shares

We will surely sell you out
if you haven't got the bread
We'll get out that cut
must keep ol' Smokey fed

3.

Woodsy Owl
hiring him just wasn't wise
He did not fit
in with our corporate ties

Our PR took a hit
with many bucks to lose
He just had to go
he couldn't fill my shoes

4.

Multiple use
works out so very well
You camp with cows
on orange creeks that smell

With cow flops, stumps and mines
where you haul your own refuse
It's your natural world
and your share of multiple use

5.

Only Mike
my boss since Jack retired
Can sell big trees
just slightly scorched by fire

If you torch those old growth woods
that heartwood's still like new
It's a logger's dream
and our deal for only you

6.

Only you
can protect your trees from me
If I'm not stopped
there'll be no old growth to see

So if you want clean rivers and streams
and healthy wildlife too---
You must raise your voice
for it's up to on-ly--- you-------

(small animal chorus:) it's up to only you----
