Greetings! Does anyone know the lyrics to this song? I heard it sung by Raffi but can't find the words except on Amazon. Thank you.

Not exactly but Eliza Carthy sings Everything Glows, a fine parody of this by Les Barker on his album Some Love.

EVERYTHING GROWS
Raffi

Everything grows and grows.
Babies do, animals too. Everything grows.
Everything grows and grows.
Sisters do, brothers too. Everything grows.

A blade of grass, fingers and toes,
Hair on my head, a red, red rose,
Everything grows. Anyone knows that's how it goes.

Everything grows and grows.
Babies do, animals too. Everything grows.
Everything grows and grows.
Sisters do, brothers too. Everything grows.

Food on the farm, fish in the sea,
Birds in the air, leaves on the tree,
Everything grows. Anyone knows that's how it goes.

That's how it goes, under the sun.
That's how it goes, under the rain.
Everything grows. Anyone knows that's how it goes.

Yes, everything grows and grows.
Babies do, animals too. Everything grows.
Everything grows and grows.
Sisters do, brothers too. Everything grows.
Mamas do, papas too. Everything grows.

To clarify: Eliza Carthy sang Les Barker's song EVERYTHING GLOWS, which is a parody of Cole Porter's ANYTHING GOES. As far as I can tell, there is no connection to Raffi's EVERYTHING GROWS.
