Before Autos!

Here's a folkdance tune from the Balkans: Vranjanka or Sano Duso (shano dusho)
Hear this tune here.

Before the days of the automo-obi-ile, earthworms freely roamed,
a-e-rating, fertilizing, creating rich brown loam!
But now our dirt is slowly dy-ying & earthworms buried live
beneath city blocks of concrete, where they used to thrive!
What can we do about it? Well, we all can strive....

....to be the first to love & be-e ki-ind, when we meet with cruel pain!
Let's be the first to love & be-e ki-ind like a gentle cool rain!
Let's make the brown grass bright & green again & fields rich with ripe grain!
Yes, indeed we can do it: we can break each rough chain
and so save each oppressed slave & remove each tough stain!

Let's be the first to love & be-e ki-ind, when we're faced with trouble!
Let's be the first to love & be-e ki-ind & our joys will double!
Let's meet disaster with love & la-aughte-er, pop it like a bubble!
Yes, indeed, we can do it! We can part the stubble
and make a path with a good laugh & remove the rubble!
