1. Grasshopper Green is a comical chap;
He lives on the best of fare;
Bright little jacket and breeches and cap,
These are his summer wear.
Out in the meadows he loves to go,
Playing away in the sun;
It's hopperty, skipperty, high and low,
Summer's the time for fun.
2. Grasshopper Green has a dozen wee boys,
And soon as their legs grow strong,
All of them join in his frolicsome joys,
Humming his merry song.
Under the leaves in a happy row,
Soon as the day has begun;
It's hopperty, skipperty, high and low,
Summer's the time for fun.
3. Grasshopper Green has a quaint little house,
It's under a hedge so gay,
Grandmother spider as still as a mouse,
Envies him o'er the way.
Little folks always he calls I know,
Out in the beautiful sun:
It's hopperty, skipperty, high and low,
Summer's the time for fun.
