O Granny dear, and do you hear
The news that’s going ‘round?
The corporations have decided
They must shift their ground.
It’s the biggest mass conversion
That the world has ever seen!
They’ve seen the light, but it’s not white—
It’s corporation green!
Chorus: Now they’re corporation green,
Yes, they’re corporation green.
It’s the biggest mass conversion
That the world has ever seen.
They’re well-behaved, they’ve all been saved,
However bad they’ve been.
These holy men are born again—
They’re corporation green!
We’d like to know what hit MacBlo
And Fletcher Challenge yet.
They care for owls and waterfowls
And marbled murrelets?
“Share the forest” is the call
Big clearcuts are obscene.
And who can doubt dioxin’s out—
They’re corporations green!
Chorus
