Too much green
There is so much to name
Too much green
My room is full of green
Comforter, curtains and my rugs
Too much green
I think I am on a roll
Pickles, spinach and cucumbers
Too much green
Still moving along
Christmas trees and wreaths
Shamrocks on St. Patrick's Day
Too much green
Still more to name
The green of Astroturf that football players play on
Including the Green Bay Packers
Too much green
Let's keep the ball rolling
Trees, grass, leaves and bushes
Are all seen at best in the summer
Too much green
Looks like it will never end
"Green Eggs and Ham"
Greenday and "Greensleeves"
Even that gross song about
"Great Green Globs of Greasy, Grimy Gopher Guts"
And let us not forget the movie "Fried Green Tomatoes"
Too much green
Let's not try to go overboard
Skittles, M&M's and jelly beans too
But not the green Jelly Belly jelly beans
For those are the ones I despise most
Too much green
Let's not forget money
Which most college students can only dream of
Too much green
I think we get the idea
That there is just
Too much green
In this world we live in
