City of Green

by E. Goodman


         Come on down to the city of green
         This is the town of green
         This place has all the emeralds and diamonds
         That nobody has ever seen

         A color of magic
         A weather of wind
         There's always a twink in your eye
         The people who are thin

         I see down at the end of the rainbow
         A nice pot of gold
         Look right into your hands
         You'll find something to hold

         Planting 3-4 seeds
         Nothing like a little greed
         What a wonderful place
         This is the city of green

         Come on down to the city of green
         This is the town of green
         This place has all the emeralds and diamonds
         That nobody has ever seen
