07x02 - The Little Things We Do

[bunniefuu]

Mr. Morton wasn't famous or important,

lived an ordinary little life. He

had a son named Norton, a cat named

Orton, and Pearl was his wife.

Pearl liked a shower for about an hour.

Little Norton never turned off lights.

And As for Orton the cat, he wouldn't

step till they turned up the thermostat.

Come on now, Orton, stop it. One

night the Mortons all were watching

television when they heard the news.

Due to energy consumption that's causing

global warming, the Earth has got the

blue. The Arctic's melting. The sea

is rising. We have got to set the earth

to right. And even Horton the cat dropped

his rat and he stared at the thermostat.

Must be something we can do.

Must be something we can try.

Mr. Morton said. I may be ordinary, but

an ordinary guy can be important with a

capital I. I

can't turn off the lights when they're

not in use Unplug things that keep using

juice Instead of driving where I like I

can take the bus or walk or bike Instead

of turning up that thermostat I put

on a sweater and hug the cat Bring my own

cloth bag to the grocery store And when I

shower, I'll keep it short Oh, it's

the little things we do You and I

that can save the world By and

byOh, it's one of the

little things we do If we try,

it's important With a capital

I I can plant a tree and keep the house

real cool Carpool when we go to school

Tune up the car, drive a little bit

slower Mow that lawn with a real

Pushmower Talk to friends and neighbors,

too, about how to help and what to do Now

Mr. Morton, Norton, Pearl, and even the

cat are saving the worldOh, it's the

little things we do, you and I,

that can save the world by and by.

Oh, it's the little things we do if we

try. It's a poor town with a

capital I. Now, the

Mortons may be ordinary people, but

they're working at their new routine.

Mr. Morton's head of neighborhood

recycling. His whole town is thinking

green. Ordinary,

well, not so varied. It's important, and

I'll tell you why. We're saving energy

now, knowing how it's important with a

capital

I. And even Orton the cat gets a pat when

he turns down the thermostat.
