Green Green Grass Lyrics

Chorus: Green, green, the grass is green, on the far side of the hill.
Green, green, I 'm going away, to where the grass is greener still.

Oh how we love to play in the big oak tree,
me and my little sis.
She loves to swing and I love to climb,
while we sing this little rhyme
Everyone!

Chorus: Green, green, the grass is green, on the far side of the hill.
Green, green, I 'm going away, to where the grass is greener still.

In our backyard is a big oak tree,
we play in it every day.
We use imagination to play lots of games,
me and my little sis
Everyone!

Chorus: Green, green, the grass is green, on the far side of the hill.
Green, green, I 'm going away, to where the grass is greener still.
The grass is greener still.
To where the grass is greener still!
