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
