We Love Trees Chorus: Trees (kids
echo) Trees (4 times) Trees Trees
We Love Trees
We love chestnut, linden, apple, olive,
and the aspen tree Oak,
elm, cedar, walnut and the hickory There’s the cherry, redwood, cottonwood And the dogwood tree And what’s the biggest tree of all? That’s the sequoia tree! (Chorus) There’s the birch, fir, coconut, and the mulberry, We get that tasty syrup from the
sugar maple tree. There’s
the eucalyptus, blue spruce, and the rubber tree, And we love that ponderosa pine, And our palmetto tree! (Chorus) Trees are good for animals and people, birds, and bugs. Trees are good for other trees, And plants and air and slugs. Trees are like our brothers and our sisters to
the end So . . .plant
a tree, hug a tree, make a new friend . . . (Chorus)
Put on Your Green Shoes
Gather round children and you will hear, The sound of a cricket callin in your ear. That's Mother Nature, she's cryin' out loud, "This old world, it needs some lovin' now,"
so (Chorus) Put on yyour green shoes, Put on your
green shoes, Mother
Nature sh'e callin' to you Just
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)
I wonder how the
world would be, Without
the shade of the redwood tree, Without
all the fish, the birds and the bees, Springtime would be lonely. (chorus) Mother
Nature she's callin' to you to put on your green shoes (Chorus) Mother Nature she's countin' on you To put on your green shoes S
The Green Shoes Walk 1. It’s a walk; it’s a certain
kind of attitude! Giving
mother earth some gratitude, For the lakes, the rivers, the trees, and the grass, We’ve got to care about them if we want them all to last! Pick it up, never throw it on the street, Cause we’ve got our green
shoes on our feet. The
water, the air, it’s important to us. We’re gonna show the world that we’re serious! Chorus: We’re gonna walk that green shoes walk - don’t
just talk about it, Walk
that walk . . . . Walk that walk! 2.
See the children in the park having so much fun We’ve got to clean it up, save it for the little ones! In the city, in the country, all around the world, We’ve got to build a beautiful future For all the boys and girls! Every day we hear the stories and
it’s making us nervous We’ve got to give the planet more than just lip service! What’s the use of crying bout the ozone layer? We’ve got to heal it now, don’t wait till later. Chorus: Walk that green shoes walk don’t just talk about
it, Walk that walk. Come
on now walk, walk, walk, walk . . . . . . . walk that walk! 3.
Grab your brother or your sister, don’t work alone You can make a major difference starting here at home Now’s the time to raise our voices. Come on get on down and make some choices! Recycle
all your bottles and your soda cans Don’t
leave the water running when you wash your hands. Get
your friends together and plant some trees. Bring
your own bag for your groceries. Don’t
waste paper, turn down the heat. And when
it comes to driving everywhere, use your feet! Check
the package out before you pay the bill Or
most of what you buy will end up in a landfill! Chorus: Walk that green shoes walk; don’t just talk about
it, Walk that walk. ... Walk that walk. 4. The animals and flowers and humanity Make up the leaves and branches of our family tree Walk that walk, walk that walk So put some love in everything you say and do! It’s gonna make a circle and
come back to you! Walk
that walk . . . walk that walk
Someone’s Gonna Use It after You 1. When you stand at the sink did you ever think About
the water going down the drain? That it used to be in the deep blue
sea
And before that it was rain! Then it turned to snow
for an Eskimo
To use in a snowball fight! Then it traveled south
till it reached your mouth To help you brush your teeth tonight! Chorus I: Someone’s gonna use it after you
So leave it as you’d like it when you’re through.
Cause the water, land, and air. These
are things we’ve got to share. Someone’s
gonna use it after you! 2. When you sneeze like thunder Did
you ever wonder if the air you set in motion, Might have helped to form a tropical storm Way
out in the western ocean. Could have been blown out of a blue whale’s spout As it dove beneath
the sea!
And now that air is in your care till you finish with your sneeze!
Chorus II: Someone needs to breathe it after you 3. Like a wheel the world is turning Forest green and sky of blue It will turn that
way forever
As the old is born anew
Chorus

Smokey the Bear
With a rangers hat and shovel - in a pair of dungarees You will find him in the
forest - always sniffing at the breeze. People stop and pay attention when he tells them to beware, Cause everybody knows that
he’s the fire prevention bear!
Chorus: Smokey the bear, Smokey the bear
Prowlin’ and a growlin’ and a sniffing the air He can find a fire before it starts to flame That’s why they call him Smokey That was how he got his name

they’re good for kid’s to climb in And they’re beautiful to see You
just have to look around you And you’ll find it’s not a joke Just
think what you’d be missing If they all went up in smoke
The Garden Song Chorus: Inch by inch, row by row, gonna help this garden grow. Gonna
mulch it deep below, gonna make it fertile ground. Inch by inch, row by row, please
bless these seeds I sow, And warm them from below, till the rains come
tumbling down.
Pulling weeds, picking stones, we are made
of dreams and bones. Feel the need to grow our own for the times are in our hands. Rain for grain, sun and rain, we are part of nature's chain. Tune your heart and tune your brain to
the music of the land. (Chorus )
Plant your rows straight and long. Temper them with
prayer and song. Mother
Earth will make you strong if you give her love and care. Day by day, seed to sprout, this is what life's all about, From the inside pushing out, we keep growing
everywhere. (chorus) Dirt to soil, seed to sprout, this is what
life's all about, From the garden reaching out with food for many to share. (chorus )
Dirt Made My Lunch
Chorus:
Dirt made my lunch, dirt made my lunch. Thank you dirt, thanks a bunch,
For my salad, my sandwich, my milk and my munch, Cause dirt, you made my lunch!
Dirt is a word we often use when we talk
about the earth beneath our shoes. It's a place where plants can sink their toes and in a little while a garden grows. chorus
A farmers plow will tickle the ground, you know the
earth is left when the wheat is bound. The grain is taken and the flour is ground for making a sandwich to munch on down. Chorus
A jolly green beard grows upon the land. Out of the
soil, the grass will stand, But under the hoof it must bow, for making milk by way of a cow. Chorus
Six Plant Parts Full chorus: Roots, stems, leaves, flowers fruits and seeds, Roots, stems, leaves, flowers, fruits and seeds, Roots, stems, leaves, flowers, fruits and seeds, That's roots, stems, leaves, flowers, fruits
and seeds.
Chorus after each verse:
That's six parts, six parts, six plant parts that plants and people need.
The roots pull the plant into the ground. They gather up the water that
falls around. There's
a root inside of me cause carrot is a root that I eat. The stem is an elevator up from the ground. The water goes up and the sugar back
down And
there's a stem inside of me cause celery is a stem that I eat.
Chorus: That's 6 parts, 6 parts, 6 plant parts that plants and people need.
The leaves are the kitchens where the food is done. They breathe the air and catch the rays
from the sun. There's
a leaf inside of me cause lettuce is a leaf that I eat. Chorus: That's 6 parts. 6 parts, 6 plant parts that plants and people need.
The flowers are dressed so colorfully. They hold the pollen and attract the bees And there's a flower inside of me cause
cauliflower is a flower that I eat. Chorus
The fruit gets ripe and it falls on the ground. It holds the seeds and it feeds the ground. Theirs a fruit inside of me cause apple
is a fruit that I eat. Chorus
The seeds get buried in the earth. The cycle starts again with a new
plant birth, And
there's a seed inside of me cause sunflower is a seed that I eat. Chorus
Now you know what this whole world needs. It's roots, stems, leaves, flowers, fruit
and seeds. There's
6 plant parts inside of me cause a garden salad is what I eat. That's 6 parts, 6 parts, 6 plant parts that plants and people need. Full chorus

There’s Gonna Be A Rainbow There’s gonna be a rainbow shining
in the sky. Gonna be
a rainbow, we can catch it if we try. Gonna be a rainbow following the storm. Gonna be a rainbow with sun to keep us warm.
Rain falls into our hands, Sun shines down on the land. With rain, sun, and love all life
will grow. And the
earth holds us in her arms in a rainbow Wanna be a rainbow, shining in the sky? Wanna be a rainbow, floating way
up high? Wanna be
a rainbow, following the storm, Wanna
be a rainbow, with colors being born?
You've Gotta Get Out
(Chorus) You've gotta get out, look up and see the sky, Climb a tree, see how the birds fly, Get down, see what's upon the ground. Get out and meet your world! Reading book is wonderful. There's so much you can
learn, About kings
and stars and dinasaurs and why the season's turn, But when your mind grows weary from the paper you have turned, Just put those books up for a little while. (Chorus) Telivision and VCR's can teach and entertain. You laugh, you sry, you learn some things. You get to watch the game. But TV can be dangerous if it takes up too much
time. So turn it off
before it steals your mind. (Chorus
twice) The earth has many stories that
she wants us all to hear. They're
in the misic of a cricket and the footsteps of a deer. They're in a world that is just waiting and is right outside your door. (Chorus)

hear, and to read.
Three Little Fishes 1. Down in the meadow in a little bitty pool
Swam three little
fishes and a mamma fishy too Swim said the mamma fishy, swim if you can. And they swam and they swam right over the dam.
Chorus:
Boop boop diddem
doddem waddem choo ! (repeat 3 times) And they swam and they swam right
over the dam. 2. Stop! Cried the mamma fishy or you’ll get lost. The three little fishes didn’t want to be bossed.
The three little
fishes went off on a spree And they swam and they swam right out to the sea! Chorus 3. Whee said the little fishes. Gee
what fun! We’ll swim in the sea till the day is done. They swam and they swam and it was a lark,
Till all of a sudden
. . . they saw a shark! Help cried the little fishes . . . Look at all those whales, And quick as they could they turned
on their tales. And back to the pool in the meadow they swam, And they swam and they swam back over the dam!
