Born with the moon in Cancer
  Choose her a name she will answer to
  Call her green and the winters cannot fade her
  Call her green for the children who've made her
  Little green, be a gypsy dancer
  
  He went to California
  Hearing that everything's warmer there
  So you write him a letter and say, "Her eyes are blue."
  He sends you a poem and she's lost to you
  Little green, he's a non-conformer
  
  CH0RUS:
  
  Just a little green
  Like the color when the spring is born
  There'll be crocuses to bring to school tomorrow
  Just a little green
  Like the nights when the Northern lights perform
  There'll be icicles and birthday clothes
  And sometimes there'll be sorrow
  
  Child with a child pretending
  Weary of lies you are sending home
  So you sign all the papers in the family name
  You're sad and you're sorry, but you're not ashamed
  Little green, have a happy ending
  
  CHORUS:
  
  Just a little green
  Like the color when the spring is born
  There'll be crocuses to bring to school tomorrow
  Just a little green
  Like the nights when the Northern lights perform
  There'll be icicles and birthday clothes
  And sometimes there'll be sorrow
