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...
