Recycle Song Rocko's Modern Life The Splat
- “What a sappy song.”
- ―Rocko after the song is performed the first time
"Spelling Song" is a song featured in the Rocko's Modern Life song "Zanzibar", sung by Captain Compost Heap and the citizens of O-Town about the importance of recycling and conservation and the dangers of pollution.
In Rocko's Modern Life: Static Cling, Captain Compost Heap briefly reappears, singing the song, right before he is crushed by Rocko's house.
Lyrics[]
Captain Compost Heap: R-E-C-Y-C-L-E, recycle!
C-O-N-S-E-R-V-E, conserve!
Don't you P-O-L-L-U-T-E
Pollute the rivers, sky, or sea,
Or else you're gonna get what you deserve!
The ozone is in horrible condition
From fluorocarbons in our atmosphere.
They are too small to be seen by normal vision...
Flurocarbons: But there's getting to be more of us each year!
We come from a variety of places,
Like styrofoam containers and aerosol cans.
We love to eat the ozone, it's our favorite dessert,
And if you don't have an ozone, then the sun can really hurt.
Mrs. Wolfe: You must admit, we make a lot of garbage!
Pig lady: This dump is filled up wide above the brim.
Captain Compost Heap: If we don't make an effort to recycle...
Grim Recycler: The future could be looking mighty grim.
Heffer: Look, it's the Grim Recycler!
Grim Recycler: No autographs, please.
Captain Compost Heap: Someone's cutting down the O-Town forest!
It's not enough to sit around and grieve.
If we don't protect our flora and our fauna...
Scientist: Zen ve von't have the oxygen to breathe.
Citizens: R-E-C-Y-C-L-E, recycle!
Captain Compost Heap: (Recycle!)
Citizens: C-O-N-S-E-R-V-E, conserve!
Captain Compost Heap: (Conserve!)
Citizens: Don't you P-O-L-L-U-T-E
Pollute the rivers, sky, or sea,
Or else we're gonna get... what we deserrrrrrrve!
