The Grass is Greenier

"The Grass is Greenier" is a song featured in the My Friends Tigger & Pooh film Tigger & Pooh and a Musical Too. In the film, Rabbit and Tigger, following an argument, have declared themselves mayors of their own sides of the Hundred Acre Wood. They sing this song expressing their irritation with each other and why things are better on their respective sides, with a couple of brief interjections from Piglet.

"The Grass is Greenier" was written and composed by Andy Sturmer and Brian Hohlfeld.

Lyrics
Tigger: Our grass is greenier Our scenery's scenier

Rabbit: The beans in my garden are far more beanier

Tigger: Bouncin' all day and the day never ends Over here

Rabbit: Over here

Tigger and Rabbit: With me and my friends

Rabbit: Our days are sunnier

Tigger: Our jokes are funnier All of the bees in our trees are honier

Rabbit: Organized fun makes a day worry-free

Tigger and Rabbit: Here with my buddies and me

Tigger: We got no rules against flouncin' or fun Bein' late's not the greatest of crimes No

Tigger: (as Rabbit) "Time to stop bouncin' now, Tigger, I mean it!"

Rabbit: Is that how I sound?

Piglet: Well, sometimes.

Rabbit: Over here veggies grow in neatly spaced rows And our weather is sublime And you can be certain That if we had trains They would surely run on time

Tigger: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Our skies are blueier

Rabbit: Our carrots chewier

Tigger: Da bears dat reside on our sider are Poohier No rules to break, only ones you can bend

Tigger and Rabbit: Over here with me and my friends

Tigger: A mayor with stripes is chic, don't ya' know Stripes give one dat certain zazing

Rabbit: A mayor who might suddenly bounce on your head

Tigger: You say that like it's a bad thing.

Rabbit: Jagulars, woozles, grints and gobloons So much and so many to fear

Piglet: Ahhhh!

Rabbit: Here's a list of reasons you should be afraid Thank goodness it's safe over here, heh Our birds sing prettier

Tigger: Our cats are kittier

Rabbit: You'll find at most times That our rhymes are wittier

Tigger: "No" is a message that nobody sends Over here

Rabbit: Over here

Tigger and Rabbit:

With me and my friends

Tigger: Your bugs are bitier

Rabbit: Your side's untidier

Tigger: It's very well-known our side's bona-fidier

Rabbit: One out of two happy squirrels agree Ours is the side that you simply must see

Tigger: The sun never sets and the fun never sleeps A tigger in time, you and me and my peeps

Rabbit: Over here

Tigger: Over here

Rabbit: Over here

Tigger: Over here

Rabbit: Over here

Tigger: Over here

Tigger and Rabbit: Over here with me and my friends!

Rabbit: My friends

Tigger: No, my friends

Rabbit: Over here.
