about

All Work Together, Environmental Version, Words and Music by Woody Guthrie
WGP/TRO-© Copyright 1956 (Renewed) Used by Permission, Lyrics adapted by Joanie Calem: I have loved this song by Woody Guthrie since I was a kid. His original song is about helping around the house, which is a great version too. I turned it into a song about cleaning up the world, because when we all work together, we can do it!

lyrics

My mommy told me and my daddy told me too, lots and lots of things for us to do
We can clean up the earth, and right a few wrongs, and if we all work together it won’t take long.

Chorus:
All work together with a wiggle and a giggle, All work together with a giggle and a grin.
All work together with a wiggle and a giggle, All work together with a giggle and a grin.

My gramma told me and my grampa told me too, lots and lots of things for us to do
We can clean up the rivers we can clean up the streams, and if we all work together it won’t be a dream.
Chorus

My auntie told me and my uncle told me too, lots and lots of things for us to do
We can use things again so we buy a little less, and if we all work together we can clean up the mess.
Chorus

My sister told me and my brother told me too, lots and lots of things for us to do
We can separate our trash and recycle stuff, and if we all work together it just might be enough

Everybody told me and I know it too, lots and lots of things for us to do.
We can compost our garbage, let our food grow free, and if we all work together we’ll grow new seeds.
Chorus
