Kurt Weill
Green-Up Time
[SUSAN]
Yesterday morning I did see
Blossoms on the apple tree
I took a breath and thought
Could it be it's green-up time!
Then I began to look around
And in every field I found
Greens were pushing up through the ground
For green-up time

And sure enough the bluebells
Tinkled April in the glen
And sure enough I fell in love
With love again
Then I started feeling awful bright
Had a thought that hit me right
I'll have my honey dance me tonight
And have a time
To welcome in the green-up time

[VILLAGERS]
There's news
The greatest news that you ever heard
There's news
A wonderful event has occurred
[SUSAN]
Can't you see it everywhere?

[VILLAGERS]
Can't you see it everywhere?

[SUSAN]
Can't you smell it in the air?

[VILLAGERS]
Can't you smell it in the air?

Yesterday morning I did see
Blossoms on the apple tree
I took a breath and thought
Could it be

[SUSAN & VILLAGERS]
It's green-up time

[VILLAGERS]
Then I began to look around
And in every field I found
Greens were a-pushing through the ground
For green-up time!
[SUSAN]
And sure enough the bluebells
Tinkled April in the glen
And sure enough I fell in love
With love again
Then I started feeling awful bright
Had a thought that hit me right
I'll have my honey dance me tonight
And have a time
To welcome in the green-up time
To welcome in the green-up time

[VILLAGERS]
Green-up time
