Gather 'round children and you will hear The sound of a cricket crying in your ear That's mother nature, she's crying out loud This old earth needs some loving now, so Chorus: Put on your green shoes Put on your green shoes Mother nature, she's calling to you To put on your green shoes Put on your green shoes and walk with me We'll go around back and plant a tree Help it grow and you will see The way the world was meant to be Chorus Wonder how the world would be Without the shade of a redwood tree Without all the fish, the birds and the bees Springtime would be lonely, so Chorus
