Go ahead. Sing it.
"Place Your Dough Through Greene" There is green upon the water; There is green upon the land. There's a House of Greene in Boston Built to lend a helping hand. To the man with lazy dollars, Who thinks it would be grand To be an independent guy. _Chorus_ Glory! Glory! To the Greene Plan, To the preacher and baseball fan, To the millionaire and ice man Who place their dough through Greene. There shines a light along the road That means "full speed ahead!" And those who grasp its meaning Know the truth cannot be dead. Their sympathy for all of those, Who take Greene light for red, They've got their signals mixed. _Chorus_ Glory! Glory! To the Greene Plan, To the preacher and baseball fan, To the millionaire and ice man Who place their dough through Greene. _etc etc_
