The Green Grass Grows All Around by La La Librarian

I have always loved this classic nursery rhyme and action song. We hope you enjoy this contemporary version with your children! We tried to stay true to the classic and give it a modern folk vibe.

This song movement activity incorporates many learning objectives for littles including listening skills, rhythm, coordination, gross motor movement, cross lateral movement, pantomime, dramatic play, and more!

Lyrics:

There was a hole
In the middle of the ground
The prettiest hole
That you ever did see
And the green grass grows all around all around
And the green grass grows all around
—–
And in that hole
There was a tree
The prettiest tree
That you ever did see
And the tree’s in the hole
The hole’s in the ground
And the green grass grows all around all around
And the green grass grows all around
—–
And on that tree
There was a branch
The prettiest branch
That you ever did see
The branch is on the tree
The tree’s in the hole
The hole’s in the ground
And the green grass grows all around all around
And the green grass grows all around
—–
And on that branch
There was a nest
The prettiest nest
That you ever did see
The nest is on the branch
The branch is on the tree
The tree’s in the hole
The hole’s in the ground
And the green grass grows all around all around
And the green grass grows all around
—–
And in that nest
There was an egg
The prettiest egg
That you ever did see
The egg’s in the nest
The nest is on the branch
The branch is on the tree
The tree’s in the hole
The hole’s in the ground
And the green grass grows all around all around
And the green grass grows all around
—–
And in that egg
There was a bird
The prettiest bird
That you ever did see
And the bird’s in the egg
The egg’s in the nest
The nest is on the branch
The branch is on the tree
The tree’s in the hole
The hole’s in the ground
And the green grass grows all around all around
And the green grass grows all around
And the green grass grows all around all around
And the green grass grows all around
