Lyrics
This world is such a great and a beautiful place
It's our home, it's our only one, unique in time and space
We can take good care of our lovely Mother Earth
And she'll take good care of us all in return
We can clean up the ecology
Look out for new technology
Take us into a bright new century
Create a world that's productive and healthy
Green Your Hood, it's so easy to do
It begins with a simple step, that step begins with you,
Green Your Hood, We can do it to-day
When we make a conscious effort yeah the world will be O.K.
It's the perfect time, to make a few healthy changes
Plant your seeds and wait, your garden will grow in stages
It starts out small, and then it really starts growing
In time you'll see, you reap the harvest you're sowing
All this good stuff helps all the birds and bees
Make friends with biodiversity
While you're helping out the economy
and using alternative energy
Green Your Hood, it's so easy to do
It begins with a simple step, that step begins with you,
Green Your Hood, We can do it to-day
When we make a conscious effort yeah the world will be O.K.
Adapt it, re-use it, recycle it, reduce it
Re-claim it, create it, maintain it, and improve it
Compost it, contain it, garden it and save it
Green it, and clean it, gather it and take it
The cost savings are a really good incentive
When it comes to solutions we can be inventive
Some say it's like filling up a bucket with a sieve
But it's good when your thinking becomes more positive
There's red wigglers in my compost heap
They crawl and they wiggle and they slide and they creep
The circle of life keeps on moving along
All leads up to a brand new song
Solar panels, wind energy and biofuel
All those alternatives are really pretty cool
Green Your Hood, it's so easy to do
It begins with a simple step, that step begins with you,
Green Your Hood, We can do it to-day
When we make a conscious effort yeah the world will be O.K.
Green your Hood, Green your Hoooooood,
La la la la la
