Lyrics
Chorus:
Green Grasshopper, hop! hop! hop!
Green Grasshopper, hop! hop! hop!
Verse 1:
Your legs are so strong, you jump so high
But I'm gonna catch you, hop! hop! hop!
Over the bush and into the tree
Onto a rock and into the stream
But I'm gonna catch you, hop! hop! hop!
Transition:
So put your legs together and play your violin
Chorus:
Green Grasshopper, hop! hop! hop!
Green Grasshopper, hop! hop! hop!
Verse 2:
Your legs are so long, you jump so far
But I'm gonna catch you, hop! hop! hop!
Onto a leaf, balanced on the edge
Out of the grass and over the hedge
But I'm gonna catch you, hop! hop! hop!
Transition:
So put your legs together and play your violin
Chorus:
Green Grasshopper, hop! hop! hop!
Green Grasshopper, hop! hop! hop!
Verse 2:
Your legs are so quick, you jump so fast
But I'm gonna catch you, hop! hop! hop!
It's getting late and I'm getting tired
You're moving much too fast and I don't know where you hide
I'm not gonna catch you, hop! hop! hop!
Transition:
So put your legs together and play your violin
I guess I'll never catch you
Hop! hop! hop!
