Food Chains Song

#brainysongs
Find out about food chains with this fun song. This video is packed full of inspiring images focusing on producers and consumers, predators and prey, the decomposers and carnivores and herbivores.
Lyrics to 'Food Chain - Steam Train'
Who’s eating who?, what’s eating what?
If you want to find out, know their habitat
Herbivores eat plants, plants are producers
All of the animals, are consumers
CHORUS
A food chain, is like a steam train
At the front is the engine, where the energy’s supplied
A food chain, is like a steam train
Herbivores eat producers; It’s always the same
Food chains can be long, they can be short
It depends what lives in the, habitat
At the start of the chain, sun and green plants
At the end, the predator, waits for its chance
The owl eats a snake, the snake eats a rat
The rat feeds on nuts, all juicy and fat
Some days the owl, prefers to eat mice
Mice love grains, they eat, wheat and rice
Dolphins eat tuna, tuna eat herring
Herring eat creatures called, zooplankton
But what do zooplankton eat, how do they survive?
What are the producers?, that keep them alive
Allosaurus, ate Stegosaurs
which ate ferns. They were herbivores.
No matter how big, no matter how small.
The sun gives energy, to us all
Never forget, when something dies
At the end of the chain, decomposers arise
Their job’s to break down, and enrich the soil
So producers grow strong and give food for us all.
