Whispering Grass

"You promised me, green grass, not to tell what you 'eard

Whispering grass, say! You can't keep your word

Keep your word (sing Lofty)"

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

Coz the trees don't need to know

"Don't you tell it to the breeze

Coz she will tell the birds and bees

And everyone will know

Because you told the blabbering trees

Oh yes, you told them once before

And it is no secret anymore

I will not have gossip in this jungle!"

Why tell them all the old things?

They're buried under the snow

Whispering grass, don't tell the trees

Coz the trees don't need to know
