I am the tiger, mighty and strong;
I roar out against poaching, which is cruel and wrong:
“Hands off my parts!”
I am the wise elephant, who forgets nothing at all;
And now I want the world to hear my call:
“Hands off my parts!”
I am the sea turtle, graceful and sleek;
Please help me find the justice I seek:
“Hands off my parts!”

I am the leopard, majestic and royal;
And I hope poachers’ plans I can foil:
“Hands off my parts!”
I am the fiercely proud Rhino;
And I stand up to poachers saying, “No:
“Hands off my parts!”
I am the orangutan, gentle and quiet;
But if humans ignore our pleas, we will start a riot:
“Hands off my parts!”

We are all hunted for our parts,
So please open your kind hearts.
We are hunted for our ivory, skins and bones;
Without help, we are still killed while our children cry and bemoan.
From Africa to Asia and all the world around,
We are being hunted in great leaps and bounds;
For Man’s insatiable greed for money,
Is not something which you can sugar-coat with honey.

So, dear humans, will you make that choice:
Will you stand up against poaching and be our voice?
Will you go to your leaders, and make them hear,
The troubles we face and the futures we fear?
Will you help protect us so that our species may thrive,
Keeping Nature and her creatures forever alive?
Can you find it, in your dear human heart,
To help we animals say, “Hands off OUR parts?”
