Why do you whisper, green grass?
Why tell the trees 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
Or 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.
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.
Now don't you tell it to the breeze
'Cause she'll run and tell the birds and the bees
And everybody will know
Just cause you told those babbling trees
Yeah, you told them once before, blabbermouth
And it really ain't no secret anymore
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
