SAVE THE DOLPHINS


They are our friends of the earth
How could anyone hurt
They live in the ocean
They move in a gentle, friendly motion

They’re intelligent and kind
And only want to be our friends
Their flippers move and their tails bend
Happy smiles soon will turn sad unless
We stand up for them

Dolphins are mammals just like us
So why should we treat them in a different way
Fishermen are out there killing them for food
Taking them out of nature for theme parks shows
What should we do

They love to swim
In the clear blue water chasing after fish
Jumping in the air
Doing tricks and flips
Twirl and whirl, tumble and twist
Flying high through the air in a beautiful arch
In their natural habitat

With their kind little squeal
Asking for help
Lets reach out and SAVE the DOLPHINS
Lets unite together
To stop their pain
For human gain
