The Green Grass Grows All Around
There once was a hole

that you ever did see
and the hole in the ground
and the green grass grows all around
and the green grass grows all around
And in the hole
there was some dirt

that you ever did see
and the dirt in the hole
and the hole in the ground
and the green grass grows all around

And in the dirt
there were some roots
best little roots
that you ever did see
and the roots in the dirt

and the green grass grows all around
and the green grass grows all around
And on those roots
there was a tree
best little tree
that you ever did see
and the tree on the roots
and the roots in the dirt
dirt in the hole
hole in the ground
and the green grass grows all around
and the green grass grows all around
And on that tree
there was a limb

that you ever did see
and the limb on the tree
and the tree on the roots
and the roots in the dirt

and the hole in the ground
and the green grass grows all around
and the green grass grows all around
and on that limb
there was a nest

and the green grass grows all around
and the green grass grows all around
and in that nest
there was an egg
best little egg
that you ever did see
and the egg in the nest
and the nest on the limb
and the limb on the tree
and the tree on the roots
and the roots in the dirt
