Grazing in the Grass Lyrics

It sure is mellow grazin' in the grass
(Grazin' in the grass is a gas, baby, can you dig it)
What a trip just watchin' as the world goes past
(Grazin' in the grass is a gas, baby, can you dig it)
There are so many groovy things to see while grazin' in the grass
(Grazin' in the grass is a gas, baby, can you dig it)
Flowers with colors bright, makin', everything outta sight in the grass
(Grazin' in the grass is a gas, baby, can you dig it)

The sun beamin' down between the leaves
(Grazin' in the grass is a gas, baby, can you dig it)
And the birds dartin' in and out of the trees
(Grazin' in the grass is a gas, baby, can you dig it)

Everything here is so clear, you can see it
And everything here is so real, you can feel it
And it's real, so real, so real, so real, so real, so real
Can you dig it?

I can dig it, he can dig it, she can dig it
We can dig it, they can dig it, you can dig it
Oh, let's dig it
Can you dig it, baby?
I can dig it, he can dig it, she can dig it
We can dig it, they can dig it, you can dig it
Oh, let's dig it
Can you dig it, baby?

The sun beamin' down between the leaves
(Grazin' in the grass is a gas, baby, can you dig it)
And the birds dartin' in and out of the trees
(Grazin' in the grass is a gas, baby, can you dig it)

Everything here is so clear, you can see it
And everything here is so real, you can feel it
And it's real, so real, so real, so real, so real, so real
Can you dig it?

I can dig it, he can dig it, she can dig it
We can dig it, they can dig it, you can dig it
Oh, let's dig it
Can you dig it, baby?
I can dig it, he can dig it, she can dig it
We can dig it, they can dig it, you can dig it
Oh, let's dig it
Can you dig it, baby?

I can dig it, he can dig it, she can dig it
We can dig it, they can dig it, you can dig it
Oh, let's dig it
Can you dig it, baby? (Grazin' in the grass is a gas, baby, can you dig it)
I can dig it, he can dig it, she can dig it
We can dig it, they can dig it, you can dig it
Oh, let's dig it
Can you dig it, baby? (Grazin' in the grass is a gas, baby, can you dig it)

Grazin' in the grass is a yes, baby, can you dig it
