Subject: RE: Hugh (the) Manatee ? From: Sail Date: 12 Jan 99 - 06:45 PM I have a tape by "Magpie" called "Circle of Life" which has environmental songs on it, including Hugh the Manatee. May be kids' music, but it has some good songs on it. |

Subject: RE: Hugh (the) Manatee ? From: Sail Date: 12 Jan 99 - 10:30 PM Joe,
That's neat! How'd you do that. Unfortunately, I could not get the audio. No that isn't the song. It goes like this (and ignore spelling):
As I was snorkeling down in the Keys, Line breaks <br> added - Joe Offer |

Subject: Lyr Add: HUGH THE MANATEE (Artzner, Leonino?) From: Jim Dixon Date: 20 Jun 09 - 07:19 AM Copied from the above web site: HUGH THE MANATEE As sung by Magpie (Greg Artzner and Terry Leonino) on "Circle of Life" (Click to play.) 1. As I was snorkeling down in the cayes, [pron. "keys"] I came upon two manatees. I looked at them and they looked right at me As they chewed on their dinner of hydrilla weeds. One came over and said to me, "I'll tell you what life is like under the sea. My name is Hugh and I'll show to you Just what manatees do." CHORUS: Hugh the manatee, Swimming around from caye to caye— Oh, how I wish that I could be Like Hugh the manatee! Hugh the manatee, Swimming around the West Indies— Oh, how I wish that I could be Like Hugh the manatee! 2. Hugh said, "I like to come here and feed Among the hyacinths and the seaweed, Rooting around in the sea-grass beds, Flushing out fish so the herons get fed. I like salt water I also like fresh. I don't mind it cool, but warm is the best. When I get tired, I take a deep breath And go down on the bottom to rest. 3. It isn't as easy as you might think, 'Cause me and my kind we are almost extinct. A lot of the places we lived are now gone, Making it harder to carry on. Just look at these scars on my back. They were made By somebody's powerboat propeller blade. With boats and pollution and trash in my way, It's harder to live every day. LAST CHORUS: Hugh the manatee— It shouldn't be so hard to be. He's part of you and he's part of me. We're all humanity. Hugh the manatee— It shouldn't be so hard to be. He's part of you and he's part of me. We're all humanity. |

Subject: Lyr Add: HUGH MANATEE (Woitas-Holt/Snyder) From: Jim Dixon Date: 20 Jun 09 - 07:37 AM This one is sung by Dean Madonia on the various-artists album "Five Little Monkeys and Other Kidstuff" HUGH MANATEE Copyright 1999 Woitas-Holt/Snyder (ASCAP) I glide through the water. I graze on the grasses. I'm like a cow of the sea. If it's all the same, please use my better name And call me Hugh Manatee. From my tail to my head, I'm as long as your bed, A great grey football with a smile. Though I weigh a half a ton, I never hurt anyone, But I'm in danger once in a while. Have you heard about ol' Hugh Manatee? Please look out for ol' Hugh Manatee. Only you can save our friend below the wave. Slow down your boat with me. My water-bound neighbors, even sharks and 'gators, Bring me no cause for alarm. My only real worry is a boat in a hurry. Only man is doing me harm. I share my wet home with boaters who roam. The waves too quickly, you see, I try to avert and avoid getting hurt, But they often run over me. Have you heard about ol' Hugh Manatee? Please look out for ol' Hugh Manatee. Only you can save our friend below the wave. Slow down your boat with me. |
