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.
