LYRICS
Why did the old lady swallow a spider
That wiggled and jiggled and tickled inside her
Can you conclude why spray sulfur at a high altitude
I don’t know why we swallowed the fly
Perhaps we’ll die

Manage a moment to ponder solar radiation management
I fear what we geo-engineer
May endanger all we hold dear
Better ask why we’re foggin’ up the sky
Perhaps we’ll die

Why did the old lady swallow the horse
Why did mankind maintain this course
Looks like we beat a dead horse to death
Wake up world we can’t take it with
No matter how you dread… in The End… the old lady’s dead

ABOUT THIS SONG
Chords
D7 D6 G
Interlude — C Am G

A song about Man coming up with crazy schemes in an attempt to mitigate global warming.

Schemes to tackle climate change could prove disastrous for billions of people, but might be required for the good of the planet, scientists say.

That is the conclusion of a new set of studies into what’s become known as geo-engineering.

This is the so far unproven science of intervening in the climate to bring down temperatures.

These projects work by, for example, shading the Earth from the Sun or soaking up carbon dioxide.

Ideas include aircraft spraying out sulphur particles at high altitude to mimic the cooling effect of volcanoes or using artificial “trees” to absorb CO2.

Long regarded as the most bizarre of all solutions for global warming, ideas for geo-engineering have come in for more scrutiny in recent years as international efforts to limit carbon emissions have failed. — BBC
