The Polar Bear Song is a catchy tune by science teacher Tom Rugg, which contains a gentle message about climate change. The Polar Bear Music Video forms part of the bbc wales green season of programming.

LYRICS:
Well I'm a polar bear and my name is Bjorn
and I've been a polar bear since the day I was born.
Welcome to my kingdom and the world that I roam
the circumpolar arctic, the place that I call home.

They call me Nanook and Ursus Maritimus
two hundred thousand years of evolution helped design us.
With small ears, a big coat and predators' jaws
and a layer of fat just to keep us warm.

Is it only me or do you, do you get the feeling?
While we're watching the sun going down
someone's turning up the central heating.

Well I'm just a polar bear so what do I know
about Milankovitch Cycles and CO2
just twelve-hundred pounds of hi tech fur
with twelve inch paws and two inch claws.

From Hudson Bay to Greenland, Russia to Alaska,
Svalbard out to Baffin and round and back again.
Just waiting on the coastline for the waves to freeze
with seals to hunt and cubs to feed.

Is it only me or do you, do you get the feeling?
While we swim beneath the Northern Lights
the ice pack is retreating.

If only each word that was said was another fall of snow.
If only each well intended thought was another.

Well I'm a polar bear and my name is Bjorn
And I've been a polar bear since the day I was born
Welcome to my kingdom and the world that I roam
the circumpolar arctic, the place that I call home.

In the words of Billy Connolly: they're marvellous creatures, fantastic at what they do, but they don't have the wifi internet, so they're not really all that clever are they? xD

[salsaru85]

@workingclassbum No, 'cos they stick to one pole. They're just depressed. Not manic depressed. :(
