"When I spoke to him in China," the Tragopan said
"I don't wanna niggle, but I think I'll soon be dead.
If they chop down the trees I'll have nowhere to hide
Along will come a hunter and he'll take me by surprise."

Let's sing a song for the Tragopan
The pheasant who can't live without ease
Don't let them chop down the trees that he needs
The tragopan can't live without leaves

"Last seen in China," the Tragopan said
How would you feel if they took away your bed
Closed up your garage and pulled out the phone
Took away the deep freeze and left you all alone?"

Let's sing a song for the Tragopan
The pheasant who can't live without ease
Don't let them chop down the trees that he needs
The Tragopan can't live without leaves

The Tragopan can't live without leaves

Don't let them chop down the trees that he needs
The Tragopan can't live without leaves
Don't let them chop down the trees that he needs
The Tragopan can't live without leaves
