Here are the words:

" hey Phil I'm cold how about you. I'm chillin, hey is that a Ice Cap Where are we?"
 * slurp* what?

In the tundra where it's 30 below In the tundra it's to cold to snow In the tundra chilling with the caribou In the tundra there isn't that much to do

The tundra biome is very severe its located in the northern hemisphere the winters are very dark and cold plus the freezing winds are very bold

the ground is covered with permafrost no plants can grow in winter till that ice de thaws in the winter you wont see many trees cause the temperature is - 30 degrees

but just soon as spring comes around you'll see some movement on the ground and when the sun comes up a little later this bit of rock and soils is the active layer

but the sun only melt a bit of the snow cause you only got 10 inches to grow

the permafrost keep the moisture in plants can grow and balance everything

In the tundra where it's 30 below In the tundra it's to cold to snow In the tundra chilling with the caribou In the tundra there isn't that much to do

So the food chain starts off, a little like this the bacteria and fungi reminisce the grass and the larvae feed off of it and if it weren't for this, things wouldn't exist primary consumers like the caribou, the musk ox hares and lemmings too

they eat the grass that they can find but they better take a second look behind

cause there a predator waiting by the side and if you don't be carful it'll tan your hide but you gotta look on the brighter side cause you're the bait it needs to survive

the predators are the next on the list here are the animals it consists there's arctic wolves and polar bears you can see these creatures where?

In the tundra where it's 30 below In the tundra it's to cold to snow In the tundra chilling with the caribou In the tundra there isn't that much to do

the reason why all of these animals migrate is so that they can get together so they can mate all they got to do is get in the mood "Bow Chicka wow" a baby caribou

so don't be afraid when the ground starts to shake it's about time that the animal awake in the late winter and early spring all the creatures come back so they can do their thing

In the tundra where it's 30 below In the tundra it's to cold to snow In the tundra chilling with the caribou In the tundra there isn't that much to do

in the summer the temperature stays just right because the sun is out all day and night. 10 degrees for the plants are fine cause the leaves are pointed at the sun all the time

but then when fall rolls around all the little creatures sleep in holes in the ground

cause winter is creeping up from behind once it hits sun won't be able to shine

all the pesticides that the south be using they cant comprehend, how they're abusing the humans be hating they be spilling the oil but before you know it the tundras gonna spoil.

So all you oil diggers you better listen your destroying the animals ecosystem so all the creatures who fear life in the dark lets round them all up to a national park

In the tundra where it's 30 below In the tundra it's to cold to snow In the tundra chilling with the caribou In the tundra there isn't that much to do

In the tundra where it's 30 below In the tundra write your name in the snow In the tundra chilling with the caribou In the tundra I guess there's a lot to do back to top
