Green Grass Grows

There was once a tree,  there was once a tree

A pretty little tree, a pretty little tree

The prettiest little tree,  the prettiest little tree

That you ever did see,  that you ever did see

The tree was in a hole, and the hole in the ground

            And the green grass grows all around, all around

            The green grass grows all around

Now on that tree, now on this tree

There was a branch,  there was a branch

The prettiest little branch, the prettiest little branch

That you ever did see, that you ever did see

The branch on the tree, and the tree in a hole. and the hole in the ground

            And the green grass grows…

On this branch there was a leaf…

On this leaf there was a nest…

In this nest there was a bird…

On this bird there was a feather…

On this feather there was a flea…
