S.O.S to people everywhere, we have a message you must hear.

Be environmentally aware, you hear!

I tell you the Ozone Layer is a natural life preserver

Provides protection from the harmful rays of the sun

Do all a we as Caribbean neighbour

Come let we work together implement a plan to stop ozone depletion

Neighbour neighbour neighbour protect the ozone layer

SOS, save our sky SOS, ozone friendly is what you buy

SOS, The ozone thinning out, SOS, come joint the three of us

Everyday the ozone we abusing and everyday there’s a little that we losing,

The remedy is not so confusing, check the appliances that we using,

The A.C. and the fridge including the fire fighting equipment you choosing,

The aerosol spray that you using, some foam products you should be refusing

You and me have to work in tandem if oonu ready oonu

Make me see the hands them, fumigants get condemned,

We gonna phase them out and ban them

O! O! O! O! The ozone save the ozone

Now all a we on a mission to prevent ozone depletion

Got to make this earth much safer for everyone

The entire population and the future generation, we working as one

Cause we got to get the job done

Shout it up and down, message in we sound, spread it all around

We must protect the ozone. The earth is we home, not for we alone

Every living thing has to roam so we must protect the ozone

The ozone layer is our protection from dangerous radiation

Anytime the protection bruck down we’re at risk from nuff things around

Ones immune system strength decreases resulting in more diseases

Skin cancer also increases cateracts of the eye never ceases

Less yield from the plant population, less productivity from the ocean

We must stop this ozone depletion. Wave your hands if you second the motion

Chlorofluorocarbons are bad to the bone, dangerous chemicals

Leave them alone, ban them, ban them from the home we must protect the ozone.
