Robin Bienemann - DDT

Mosquito. Now there's a species I'd like to endanger
Stop her comin' at us with that "buzz buzz"
Maybe change her status from "Is z zzzz zz" to "was"

D D T nearly did 'em both in
Mean little mosquito and the mighty Peregrine
It just made the little skeeter just a little meaner
And the Peregrine's eggshell thin
D D T nearly did 'em both in

Peregrine Falcon. She's badder than the cheetah that she's faster than
A master assassin, but not like the mosquito
See a skeeter's even scarier. She'll make you very sick
'Cause she a carrier of Zika and Malaria

D D T nearly did 'em both in
Mean little mosquito and the mighty Peregrine
It just made the little skeeter just a little meaner
And the Peregrine's eggshell thin
D D T nearly did 'em both in

After W. W. TWO they sprayed the D D T
On every single surface, but they wasted it
Well they killed a few at first, but the mosquito was tenacious
And soon she even learned to like the taste of it

They worried about that birdy 'cause her eggs were crackin' early
It appeared to be the end of the Peregrine
But then the U S A. started the E P A
And the Peregrine up there took to the air again

D D T nearly did 'em both in
Mean little mosquito and the mighty Peregrine
It just made the little skeeter just a little meaner
And the Peregrine's eggshell thin
D D T nearly did 'em both in

Nature. Science. Be careful when you kill what you hate
The Spring can bring a terrifying silence
And exterminating irritating bugs can also complicate
The fate of the things that you love

D D T nearly did 'em both in
Mean little mosquito and the mighty Peregrine
It just made the little skeeter just a little meaner
And the Peregrine's eggshell thin
D D T nearly did 'em both in

Nearly did 'em both in
