| Facts: |
| The whole Mother Nature aspect of this song is a reference to the seventies commercials for Chiffon margarine in which Mother Nature would be fooled into eating the margarine and cause storms when becoming enraged after being fooled. (Stavro Arrgolus) |
| The "ba-ba-ba-daaa!" in this song is a reference to the early seventies Imperial margarine commercial (the competition to the commercial in the main theme) where a crown would appear on the margarine eater's head while that fanfare played. (Stavro Arrgolus) |

| Song Lyrics: |
SPOKEN: This a little tune; a protest song against everything unnatural- entitled "It's Not Nice To Fool Mother Nature"...
Well I got up this mornin'
Found the toaster; put some bread in
Then I went over to the butter compartment
and I pulled out some margarine
Now when I get up in the mornin'
usually feelin' pretty down
So it picks me right up - bite into that
margarine to get that crown-
"BA-BA-BA-DAAAA!"
Sittin' there eatin' my toast and margarine
In the world I didn't have a care
When suddenly appears this weird little lady
with daisies in her hair
She said, "Gee, I hope you're eatin' my sweet, creamy butter
after all my toil
I'd hate to think you're ruinin' yer toast
with that unsaturated corn oil."
I wasn't eatin' her butter
And that much I had to admit
When pretty soon this here lady
She just starts havin' a fit
It was snowin' in my livin' room
It was rainin' in my den
And I'm here to tell you people
I'm never gonna eat margarine again
(Chorus:)
And it's not nice to fool Mother Nature
That's all I came here to say
And I wish she'd find someone else to pester
or I wish they'd put her away
Well, later on in the afternoon, I was sittin' in the bar
Tellin' jokes and impressin' the folks
with my new "Glen Campbell" guitar
Singin' protest songs and doin' stuff (snort)
that all good folk singers do
when I noticed the lady with the daisies sittin' there
sippin' on a brew
She said, "Gee, I see you're playin' the guitar
made outta my fine rare wood."
Well I knew she'd had a few and she was feelin' good
so I said, "Thank you, Mother Nature for recognizing class
but this here's a ovation guitar made outta fiberglass"
Well, the floods they started raging
as the rain began to come down
and if my guitar hadn'ta been so buoyant,
I probably woulda drowned
(Chorus)
Well, I come home this evenin'
Kissed my girlfriend on the cheek
and we proceeded on into the bedroom
just to make those bedsprings squeak (Squeak, squeak!)
We were really gettin' it together
and it was gettin' later at night
when here come the crazy daisy lady
all dressed up in white
She said,"I know what you're doin'
and I don't mind you livin' in sin
but I got a sneaky suspicion
you've been messin' with my estrogen"
Ya know, I just couldn't believe it
I thought I is gonna be ill
but I sit up there and admitted
Yeah, my baby was takin' the Pill
Well the hail, it started falling
as the North wind began to come
with me and my baby sittin' there singin'
I got rhythm...
(Chorus)
Me and my friends are gettin' loaded
We're really havin' a ball
We're smokin', snortin', droppin' and
starin' at the wall
Our minds are bein' expanded
They were expandin' all over the room
When here come the daisy chick, man
flyin' in on a broom
"I'm a lovely marijuana" she said
as she takes a hit from the pipe
and her eyes begin to sparkle
and I knew she was feelin' ripe
But after we were smokin'
it wasn't her natural tea
My friend works in a chemical plant
and it was his THC
She was pullin' out a warrant
as the room began to get dark
Now who in the world woulda believed
Mother Nature was a narc
And it's not nice to fool Mother Nature
That's all I came here to say
And I guess she's found someone else to pester
ever since they put me away
