Another song by Outloud, printed here by her permission. This one is to the tune of “Diamonds are a Girl’s Best Friend.”
A couch in your house may be quite comfortable,
But nature is a girl’s best friend.
A couch may be grand,
But it won’t expand your senses like nature can.
So get outside, open up wide.
You think it’s cool you can plug in a cord,
but beware you will start to get bored.
Inside’s no fun for us,
Outside is wondrous.
Nature is a girl’s best friend.
There may come a time when you want to watch TV,
But nature is a girl’s best friend.
There may come a time when you’re feeling lazy,
But get outside day or night, it’ll do you right.
When I’m inside, I could cry, cuz it’s just so boring,
But mountains and rivers,
these views give me quivers.
Nature is a girl’s best friend.
Life in the city is always the same thing,
But nature is a girl’s best friend.
City life’s so routine, but nature is changing,
Everyday a new adventure comes my way.
Why the same old grind? Come have a good time.
Nature is calling for you.
The hustle will never cease,
Outside you will find peace.
Nature is a girl’s best friend.
I love the sun and I love the breeze,
cuz nature is a girl’s best friend.
I love flowers and I love trees,
I even love the caterpillars and the bees.
Birds chirping, I keep hiking and there ain’t no stopping me now.
Cuz I’m hiking the AT, you may think it’s crazy,
but nature is a girl’s best friend!
-Outloud
