We'll not come on your tiger hunt, 
      To put skins on our floors!
And cutting down their forest homes?
      It’s something we abhor.

​

We’ll not kill birds or animals
     As sport for human game,
And wearing bears' fur on our heads
      Seems such a dreadful shame.

​

We’ll not kill noble elephants 
     And steal their tusks for wealth –
Or grind up horns from rhinos 
     For the sake of ‘human health’.

​

We’ll not take panda habitat 
      And the only food they eat -
And a woman’s scarf of silver fox 
     Is not what we call ‘sweet’!

​

We’ll not destroy the rain forests -
      The place where wildlife roam.
We love the creatures of our world
      And the places they call home.

​

So we’ll not come on your tiger hunt 
      Or join you in your fun. 
We’re children who respect our world 
      As so should everyone!
