Why do you whisper green grass

Why tell the tress what ain't so

Whispering grass the trees don't have to know no no

Why tell them all your secrets

Who kissed there long ago

Whispering grass the trees don't need to know

Don't you tell it to the trees

She will tell the birds and bees

And everyone will know

Because you told the blabbering trees

Yes you told them once before

It's no secret anymore

Why tell them all the old things

They're buried under the snow

Whispering grass don't tell the trees

'Cause the trees don't need to know

MONOLOGUE：Now don't you tell it to the trees 'cause they'll just run 'n' tell the birds and

Bees Then everybody'd know 'cause you told them doggone trees Yes you did you know

You did ya told 'em once before Now look atcha honey child it ain't no secret no mo'

Why tell them all the old things

They're buried under the snow

Whispering grass don't tell the trees

'Cause the trees don't need to know
