From sun-up to sundown, from the island continent of Australia to the mountains of California, the animals sing their song: "Respecting all Creation, and living in peace."

.
Sun comes up, On my island home;
Wallabies and emus begin to roam
Kookaburra sings, From treetop high;
His laughter fills the morning sky
Wake up my papa, And my mama, too;
It’s a trip to be a kangaroo!
Joey in the pouch, Mama, hop along;
Join our troop, C’mon and sing our song

Yeah, Livin’ in the Garden, In harmony
(With my) brothers and my sisters,
(We’re all) happy and free
My friends and my neighbors,
(With the) birds and the beasts,
Respecting all Creation, and living in peace.

Sun is high, We’re layin’ low,
Lions lazing ‘round the water hole
A time to rest, A time to run;
A time for soakin’ up the mid-day sun
(Then the) Clouds roll in, On the Serengeti Plain;
One drop, Two drop, Feel the rain
Gazelles in the grass, Loping along;
They’re runnin’ free, and singing their song

Yeah, Livin’ in the Garden, In harmony
(With my) brothers and my sisters,
(And my) whole family
My friends and my neighbors,
(With the) birds and the beasts,
Respecting all Creation, and living in peace.

(Now the) Evening comes, With gentle breeze;
Party of monkeys, Swingin’ in the trees
Chatter away, Baby, Don’t you see,
We’re just one big family

Yeah, Livin’ in the Garden, In harmony
(With my) brothers and my sisters,
(And my) whole family
My friends and my neighbors,
(With the) birds and the beasts,
Respecting all Creation, and living in peace.

Moon comes up, Coyotes howl;
California cougar, On the prowl
Starry night, I lay me down;
Crickets make such a beautiful sound

Yeah, Livin’ in the Garden, In harmony
(With my) brothers and my sisters,
(And my) whole family
My friends and my neighbors,
(With the) birds and the beasts,
Respecting all Creation, and living in peace.
