Good Morning, Mr. River

"Good Morning, Mr. River" is a folk song performed by Brother Kirk on Sesame Street in Episode 0362.

After Luis asks the kids to point out the living things in his fish tank at the Fix-It Shop, Brother Kirk notes that many rivers contain the same plant life and fish, but they're disappearing because we're not taking care of the environment.

The lyrics are sung to the proverbial river, the singer lamenting what has been done to conspire in its death. It goes on to chastise jet planes for polluting the air for the birds, and businesses who have erected their factories along the riverbanks. The song ends with a cautioning to those who have profited from destroying the ecology, their riches unable to save them from a time when the oxygen is gone.
