Mr. Hankey: Everything that lives on earth poos in some way
And that's how the cycle happens each and every day.
Just look at the green green grass and the birds up in the sky!
It's all here because of poo and now I'll tell you why -
Grass is eaten by the cattle
Which is eaten by women and men;
Defuses with their bodies, and becomes poo again.
And that poo goes through the sewer
which is dumped into the sea
and it's eaten by the plankton which becomes the fishes' meal.
And then that bigger fish with the poo still inside;
Swims up near the shore and gets eaten alive
By a grizzly bear that poos on a dead piece of sand
So that it can spring to life and become food for the land!
It's the poo of the antelope, the poo of the giraffe

Which crawls into the earth, and becomes the blades of grass.
The grass is eaten by the cattle, which comes out the other end
To make food for the humans, and start all over again.
Mr. Hankey: You see, son?
You're not an insignificant part of life! You ARE life!
Cornwallis: But how can I be that giraffe and blade of grass?
Or a human? I don't control what they do.
Mr. Hankey: Just like your heart beats
without you thinking about it,
so do your giraffes and humans do what they do.
Without you even thinking about it!
But it is all one life form.
It is all you.
Cornwallis: I think I see now!
Cornwallis (in a deep singing voice): I'm the poo of the antelope, that flows onto the ground
Mr. Hankey: Which becomes the grass of tomorrow
Cornwallis: Yeah!

Mr. Hankey: Which the critters turn around
Cornwallis: So I'm the leg of a leopard. And the wings of a hen.
Both: Which becomes the dinner part of humans, and turn back to poo again.
That's the circle, the circle of poo.
