Ask the Planet

You got a problem?
Are you having doubts?
You got a question that you can’t figure out?
You’ll find an answer
Or two or four
All you got to do is step out your door and

Ask the planet
Pose a question to a posy
Ask the planet
Don’t worry, it won’t think you’re nosey
Ask the planet
Ask the ocean or the prairie
Ask the planet
Something scaly, something hairy
Ask the planet
It’s been here a really long time
Yeah the planet can help you with
Whatever’s on your mind

How do I stay warm in the cold
and the snow? (ask a snowshoe hare)
How can I travel over the Gulf of Mexico?
How can I build a house under the sea? (ask an abalone)
How do I get my friends to listen to me?
Ask the planet
Interview an ibex
Ask the planet
Take a lesson from a T-rex
Ask the planet
Ask the tundra or the desert
Ask the planet
Something slimy, something feathered
Ask the planet
It’s been here a really long time
Yeah the planet can help you with
Whatever’s on your mind

I want to stand out
I want to blend in
I want some time alone
I want to make friends
I want everybody to learn how to get along
I want to sing my own special song

Ask the planet
Get a lecture from a lemur
Ask the planet
Get subliminal messages from your femur

Ask the planet
Ask the swampland or savanna
Ask the planet
Maybe something that eats bananas
Ask the planet
It’s been here a really long time
Yeah the planet can help you with
Whatever’s on your mind
