"Green Family Vacation" is the opening song to the 2024 Disney Channel movie Big City Greens the Movie: Spacecation.
The song reintroduces the Green Family and their individual personalities while also setting up the premise, and conflict, of the film. It is sung again in a reprise at the end of the film after saving Big City from the asteriod, and enjoy the rest of their spacecation before going home.
Lyrics[]
Everyone:
Ever since our family left
The farm for the city so big
Each day has been adventurous
For us and our pig
Tilly:
And our cows and our goats
And our dog and our cat
Cricket:
We sell our crops the whole year through
Tilly:
To survive in the rat race
Bill:
Pinched pennies, dimes, and dollars too
Gramma:
Now I gotta get away from this place
Everyone:
We're going on a Green Family Vacation
Gonna have the best time of our lives
On a Green Family Vacation
Cricket:
Maybe my dad'll let me drive
Bill:
No chance on earth.
Tilly:
So where we goin'?
Bill:
Sorry, guys
Can't tell you, it would spoil the surprise
Everyone:
Green Family Vacation
I can't wait
Bill:
Alright, kids. Go pack your suitcases.
Cricket:
Vacation's about the exciting and new
And getting all the fun things you can get
So to make sure this one's awesome too
I made my dad a pamphlet
It's full of great ideas for trips
Each one wild and cool
So whichever one dad picks
It's guaranteed to rule
Which one will be our...
Everyone:
Green Family Vacation
Cricket:
Maybe surfing mile-high waves?
Everyone:
On a Green Family Vacation
Cricket:
Or hunting gold in caves?
Everyone:
On a Green Family Vacation
Cricket:
Could be that I'll soon be braggin'
Everyone:
On a Green Family Vacation
Cricket:
'Bout riding horses on a dragon
Tilly:
On trips I keep a journal
To note my discoveries
Like the rest stop where we found Bigfoot
Or that giant wheel of cheese
Gramma:
Vacation is for runnin' free
And getting intro scrapes
Dang leg, you best keep up with me
Better give it extra tape
Bill:
It'll be so fun to surprise everyone
With a trip we won't forget
Nancy:
Bill, by all means
I'll watch chateau de Greens
And chill out with your pets
Bill:
I think of them more as our "friendly livestock" than our pets.
Nancy:
You try rhyming "livestock". See? This is why we got divorced.
Tilly:
Hi, mom!
Cricket:
Bye, mom!
Everyone:
Big City, so long!
We're going on a Green Family Vacation
Tilly:
I'm just ecstatic!
Everyone:
On a Green Family Vacation
Cricket:
It feels so cinematic!
Everyone:
Green Family Vacation
Cricket:
What's in store, a shark safari?
Everyone:
Green Family Vacation
Tilly:
What shall we find?
Gramma:
Who cares? Let's party!
Everyone:
We're on a Green Family Vacation
Cricket:
I could scream family vacation!
Everyone:
On a Green Family Vacation
I can't wait
Tilly:
Papa, where are we going?
Cricket:
If you don't tell me right now, I'll explode!
Tilly:
Please tell us, Papa!
Bill:
Okay, here it is! We're going... On the exact same sightseeing road trip we went on last year!
Cricket:
What!?
Cricket:
I tricked my family into space
Bill:
It created quite the rift
Alice:
There was an epic robot chase
Tilly:
We all ended up adrift
Alice:
That asteroid was no fun, y'know
Tilly:
We might've gained a dent or ding
Cricket:
But that's how vacations go
Bill:
And I wouldn't change a thing!
All:
We're on a Green family vacation
Bill:
The best we ever had!
All:
On a Green family vacation
Cricket:
Same time next year, Dad?
All:
We're on a Green family vacation
We went to space!
On a Green family vacation
Green family vacation
Green family vacation
Green family vacation
Green family vacation
Green family vacation
Green family vacation
Green family vacation
Green family vacation
Trivia[]
- Cricket's vacation pamphlet, spelled "Vaycayshin Pamphlet" lists the following adventures:
- Camping fight bears - U catch fish for bear [x]os (this implies that Cricket is still obsessed with fighting bears)
- Sky Diving - Gramma says we can!! - %100 safe
- Mexico - Tamales - Ride jaguars - Treasure
- Breakfast Land - Remember waffles (this is to make up for the events of the shorts series Big City Greens: Road Trip)
- Haunted House (Cricket is seen using a vacuum. A nod to Luigi's Mansion)
- Vampires - R Skeletons real?
- That one mountain but we have our faces in it (Mount Rushmore)
- A volcano (any) - Snorkle in lava
- Museum at night - Hi Lincoln (this is a nod to the Night at the Museum series)
- Mid-Evil Casile w/knights
- The photos in Tilly's journal of discovering "Bigfoot" and the giant wheel of cheese were most likely taken during a road trip; this foreshadows what the Greens' vacation will be as well as the same every year.
- During the song, Cricket bets Bill will let him try, and he responds, "No chance on Earth." Cricket acually gets to drive the Kludge later on when Bill gets abducted by the Farmbots during the asteroid chase.
