 The Ink Spots 
 Words by Fred Fisher and Music by Doris Fisher 
 
 Peaked at # 10 in 1940 
 Competing version by Erskine Hawkins managed # 13 
 
 
 Why do you whisper, green grass? 
 Why tell the tress what ain't so? 
 Whispering Grass, the trees don't have to know, no, no 
 
 Why tell them all your secrets? 
 Who kissed there long ago 
 Whispering Grass, the trees don't need to know 
 
 Don't you tell it to the trees 
 She will tell the birds and bees 
 And everyone will know 
 Because you told the blabbering trees 
 Yes, you told them once before 
 It's no secret anymore 
 
 Why tell them all the old things? 
 They're buried under the snow 
 Whispering Grass, don't tell the trees 
 'cause the trees don't need to know 
 
 MONOLOGUE: Now, don't you tell it to the trees, 'cause they'll just run 'n' tell the birds and 
 bees. Then everybody'd know 'cause you told them doggone trees! Yes you did, you know 
 you did, ya told 'em once before. Now look atcha, honey child, it ain't no secret no mo'. 
 
 Why tell them all the old things? 
 They're buried under the snow 
 Whispering Grass, don't tell the trees 
 'cause the trees don't need to know
