I’m trying to be greener every day (every day), Just a little cleaner in every way

The things you throw away, We could use another day
Recycle all those old newspapers please, Then we won’t have to chop down all those trees

I’m trying to be greener every day (every day), Just a little cleaner in every way

I’m planting pulses row by row, Just to keep my food miles low
Don’t buy your beans at Asda any more, Let runner beans run up to your back door

I’m trying to be greener every day (every day), Just a little cleaner in every way        

The Amazon, they say, We should treasure every day
Two thousand fishes swim within your view, And seven of them like the look of you

I’m trying to be greener every day (every day), Just a little cleaner in every way

The earth is like a sauna, It’s too hot for its fauna
I’d like to save the gnu and kangaroo, The birds and bees, the chimpanzees
The lofty lark, the great white shark, The lowly worm, the pachyderm
And - oh yes - me and you
