Tractor in the field, farmer at the wheel
Plowing down a sunlit row
He knows every day, the sun has a way
To make his plants grow.

The sun shines its light shinin’ so bright
The leaves soak it all in
It’s a special recipe, most guaranteed
It’s where the chain begins

Chorus:
I’m talking about a green, green,
Sugar machine
Air and the water and the sun’s energy
Green, green, sugar machine,
Photosynthesis is what I mean.

Birds and the bees, flowers and the trees
The wind and the water and the ground
A star up in the sky doesn't wonder why
The whole world spins around.

The sun shines its light shinin’ so bright
The leaves soak it all in
It’s a special recipe, most guaranteed
It’s where the chain begins

Chorus:
I’m talking about a green, green,
Sugar machine
Air and the water and the sun’s energy
Green, green, sugar machine,
Photosynthesis is what I mean.

Lightnin’ in the sky, clouds are rollin’ by
The rain and the thunder make a storm
The blue birds start to sing, Earth turns to spring
The days begin to warm

The sun shines its light shinin’ so bright
The leaves soak it all in
It’s a special recipe, most guaranteed
It’s where the chain begins
