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 breeze

For 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-ore



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-ow



Spoken:

Now, don't you tell it to the breeze

'Cause she'll run 'n' tell it to the birds and bees

And everyone will know

Because you done told the blabberin' trees

Yes you did, ya told 'em once before

So that's why it ain't no secret anymore, mm-mm-mm



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-ow...
