Too Many People by Fred Small Lyrics
[Chorus]
Too many people having too many babies
Got to love them babies but there's
Too many people having too many babies
Got to love them babies but it's out of control
[Spoken]
And it's a singalong!
Too many people having too many babies
Got to love them babies—very important part
Got to love them babies but there's
Too many people having too many babies
Got to love them babies but it's out of control
Try it
[Chorus]
Too many people having too many babies
Got to love them babies but there's
Too many people having too many babies
Got to love them babies but it's out of control
[Verse 1]
Adam and Eve time on their hands
Hyperactive glands room to expand
When they began begatting they begatted to excess
Eschewing tactics prophylactic now we're in a mess
[Chorus]
Because there's too many people having too many babies
Got to love them babies but there's
Too many people having too many babies
Got to love them babies but it's out of control
[Verse 2]
When Columbus sailed the ocean we were four hundred million
Industrial revolution still under a billion
The Great Depression hit two point one billion
Now we're pushing the millennium, six billion and counting
[Bridge]
Civil wars rumbling, refugees stumbling
Forests falling, deserts creeping
Traffic crawling, resources depleting
Shoppers shopping for pleasures fleeting
[Chorus]
When there's too many people having too many babies
Got to love them babies but there's
Too many people having too many babies
Got to love them babies but it's out of control
[Verse 3]
Once I lived in the city it was too big and noisy
So I moved to the country to stop and smell the rosies
All my city friends joined me and put up nice new housies
Now it's too big and noisy think I'll move to the country
[Bridge]
Some say, no, no no no no, it's not the population
It's consumption, pollution, unequal distribution
I say that's so but it's a simple equation
Population times pollution equals no solution
[Chorus]
When there's too many people having too many babies
Got to love them babies but there's
Too many people having too many babies
Got to love them babies but it's out of control
[Verse 4]
If you are a child, welcome to the world
This blue-green earth is your gift by birth
May you rock to its rhythms, may you sing it's anthems
And if you have babies please stop at two
[Chorus]
Because there's too many people having too many babies
Got to love them babies but there's
Too many people having too many babies
Got to love them babies but it's out of control
Too many people having too many babies
Got to love them babies but there's
Too many people having too many babies
Got to love them babies but please stop at two
[Outro]
Thank you!
Too many people having too many babies
Got to love them babies but there's
Too many people having too many babies
Got to love them babies but it's out of control
[Spoken]
And it's a singalong!
Too many people having too many babies
Got to love them babies—very important part
Got to love them babies but there's
Too many people having too many babies
Got to love them babies but it's out of control
Try it
[Chorus]
Too many people having too many babies
Got to love them babies but there's
Too many people having too many babies
Got to love them babies but it's out of control
[Verse 1]

Hyperactive glands room to expand
When they began begatting they begatted to excess
Eschewing tactics prophylactic now we're in a mess

Got to love them babies but there's
Too many people having too many babies
Got to love them babies but it's out of control
