Lyrics

Hey, little scrub jay
You're my friend.
Squawkin' up a blue streak
Eatin' from my hand.
Don't pack yo' bags.
Don't move yo' stuff.
You can stay right here.
There's room enough.

CHORUS: Here in Sebastian, Home of the Troop called ECO.
I see how the animals live near the people.
The animals live near the people.

Hey, gopher tortoise!
Stick around.
We bought you some acres
Of solid ground.
Don't pack yo' bags.
Don't move yo' stuff.
You can stay right here.
There's room enough.

CHORUS:

Here's to the future.
Here's to the land.
Here's to the kids who
Do what they can.
In years to come
Someday our kids
Will be so glad
For what we did.

CHORUS:
REPEAT FIRST VERSE.
