This old man, he had one
Soggy piece of a hot dog bun
With a nick nack paddy wack
To the compost bin
He grinned and simply tossed it in
This small town, it had two
Windmills spinning as air blew thru
With a nick nack paddy wack
Harness all the wind
Catch electricity and watch’ em spin
My friend’s dad, he drives three
And car pools for my friends and me
With a nick nack paddy wack
filling every seat
He saves on gas every time we meet
This old man, he bought four
Metro passes to the shore
With a nick nack paddy wack
Moving people fast
Trains can help our planet last
This old man, he bought five
Cooler light bulbs with longer lives
With a nick nack paddy wack
More efficiency
Lights that save electricity
This old man, he saw six
Hybrid cars do mileage tricks
With a nick nack paddy wack
Plus a battery
They save on fuel economy
This old man, he saw seven
Continents on earth from heaven
With a nick nack paddy wack
It looks good from there
When every country does its share
This old man, he wrote eight
Letters to the heads of state
With a nick nack paddy wack
He said lets be green
Keep our air and water clean
This old man, he put nine
Solar panels in a line
With a nick nack paddy wack
Power from the sun
Just plug them in and your house can run
This old man, he gave ten
Warm old coats to ten cold men
With a nick nack paddy wack
He said we can choose
To give away what we don’t use
This old man, he’s so smart
He shows us how to do our part
(And shows us how we can to do our part)
With a nick nack paddy wack
It’s not hard to do
Green is best for me and You
