Lotte Lenya — 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 ev'ry field I found Greens were pushin' 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?
