Plover Song

Peep lo Peep lo Peep lo Everybody Go

Where are you Piping Plover
I hear you but I can't decipher
Where you stand in the sand
On seashore where my eyes do scan

Show yourself Piping Plover
Ooh you're good at going undercover
You're so motionless against the beach
Are you far away or within my arm's reach?

Peep lo Peep lo Peep lo Everybody Go

You're so cool Piping Plover
Too cool for that forest cover
You spend your nights right under the stars
In a nest you scrape on sandy bars

I see you Piping Plover
You are courting your new lover
You sing and dance up in the sky
And you wonder will she walk on by

You fan your feathers and put on quite a show
You scrape the sand and sing your best Peep LO!

Peep lo Peep lo Peep lo Everybody Go

Well she must have loved you Piping Plover
Cause soon she'll be a plover's mother
And the ploverhood that plays before
Your mind's eye on a nest of four

One two three four piping plovers
Scurry round you while you hover
Close to them standing guard
Cause you understand Plover life is hard

Look out for gulls and crows and dogs and those raccoons
And ATV's and storms like big monsoons.

So fragile are you Piping Plover
So exposed and so uncovered
You're a sitting duck for falling prey
To so many threats of the modern day

We're here to save you Piping Plover
From near extinction we'll recover
Your population will surely grow
Through education and singing out Peep Lo!

Peep lo Peep lo Peep lo Everybody Go
