Sesame Street - Country In The City lyrics

See a tree grow through the sidewalk An amazing thing to see In the city, through the sidewalk Grows a country kind of tree And the leaves go green in summer Make a cool and shady space For the people who are pa**ing And the street's a better place There is country in the city Look around and you will see Pigeons pecking on the pavement Squirrel running up a tree There is country in the city For you and me Oooooooo See the flowers in some windows Marigolds and daffodils Like a little piece of country Sitting on a windowsill Island floating in the traffic Where the trees and flowers grow Little forest on the rooftop City farmers down below There is country in the city Parts with bu*terflies and bees Little lakes with boats for rowing Playgrounds with trees There is country in the city With some buildings in between Find a country in your city Keep it growing And growing Keep it green
