Scientific Proof for Green as the Greatest Color

There are many reasons why green is the perfect color. Green has long been associated with life. It provides us sustenance as life as we know it would not exist without the sugar producing goodness of chlorophyll. Green is the color of growth, renewal, and health evident in spring time where life is once again restored. If we didn't have green the phrase "on to greener pastures" would only be "on to pastures" and the valuable US "greenback" would only be a "back". Green can be used for therapy because it stabilizes the autonomic nervous system, is an emotional stabilizer, and pituitary stimulant. Green acts upon the sympathetic nervous system by relieving tension in the blood vessels and lowering the blood pressure. More importantly, green is a muscle and tissue builder as well as an aphrodisiac. This is extremely important because wearing a green shirt increases your chances of getting laid on Thursdays. Green has also been beneficial in medicine, being used for treatment of anything from asthma to venereal diseases (caused by random Thursday encounters). This report should remove any doubt that green is the greatest color.

It's Thursday!
HOORAY THURSDAY!

Don't Mess With Thursday

I see Thursday arising
I see trouble on the way
I see earthquakes and lightnin
I see bad times today

Wear a Green Shirt tonight
Or it's bound to take your life
There's a Thursday on the rise

I hear hurricanes ablowing
I know the end is coming soon
I fear rivers over flowing
If I see a non-Green Shirt on you

Wear a Green Shirt tonight
Or it's bound to take your life
There's a Thursday on the rise

Hope you got your things together
Hope you are quite prepared to die
Looks like we're in for nasty weather
One eye is taken for an eye

Wear a Green Shirt tonight
Or it's bound to take your life
There's a Thursday on the rise

Green Shirt Thursdsay: So easy, no wonder it's #1.
Blessed are the poor, in Green Shirts, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are they who weep for shirts lost, for they shall be Green Shirted.
Blessed are the Green Shirt wearers, for they shall inherit the earth.
Blessed are they that hunger and thirst for Thursdays, for they shall have their Green Shirts.
Blessed are the Green Shirted, for they shall obtain Green Shirts.
Blessed are the Green of Shirt, for they shall see God.
Blessed are the Green Shirt makers, for they shall be called the children of God.
Blessed are they that suffer persecution for Thursday’s sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Green Shirt Thursday: I live for this.

Damn it feels good to wear a Green Shirt

Green Shirt Thursday: It's so easy, even a caveman can do it.

As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
I take a look in my closet and realize there’s one shirt left
Cause I’ve been wearin Green Shirts so long that
Even my mama thinks that my mind is gone
But I ain’t never worn a shirt that didn’t deserve it
Me be wearin blue or pink, you know that’s unheard of
You better watch how you talkin and what you wearin
Or you and your homies might be lined in chalk
I really hate to trip but I gotta lope
As they croak I see myself in the pistol smoke ... fool
I’m the kinda guy that little homies want to be like
On my knees in the light unfolding Green Shirts on Thursday night

Been spending most their lives livin in a Green Shirt Paradise
Keep spending most our lives livin in a Green Shirt Paradise

Tell me why are we so blind to see
That the Shirts we wear should all be Green?
Tell me why are we so blind to see
That the Shirts we wear should all be Green?

A Thursday every week and a Green Shirt on every back

Come on wear Green
I swear (well he means) on this Thursday Shirts mean everything
You know how to dress, your Green Shirt you confess, is not dirty
Ah come on wear Green

These people round here wear red or brown shirts
Drunk off cheap Beast cases they're so resigned to what their fate is,
But not us (no never), no not us (no never) we are far too young and clever (remember)
Too-ra Loo-ra Too-ra Loo-Rye-Aye
And I'll wear Green Shirts forever

Come on wear Green, oh I swear (well he means)
Ah come on let's, it's a Thursday thing
You know how to dress, wear Green (Tell him yes)
Ah come on let's, ah come on wear Green, please

I don't care if Sunday’s blue
Monday’s grey and Tuesday too
Wednesday I don't care about you
It's Thursday. I'm in Green

Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
There’s a day that I heard of
Once in a lullaby.

Somewhere over the rainbow
Shirts are Green
And the Thursdays you dream of
Really will be seen.

Someday I’ll wish upon a star
And wake up where Wednesday is far
Behind me.
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
High above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me.

GOOO Green Shirt Thursday!
G...R...E...EeeeN...Shirts!
Green Shirt! Thursday! GST!

Dashing through the snow
In a Green Shirt on Thursday
O’er the fields we go
Laughing all the way
Bells on bob tails ring
Making Green Shirts bright
What fun it is to laugh and sing
A Thursday song tonight

Oh, Green Shirt Thurs, Green Shirt Thurs
Green Shirts on all day
Oh, what fun it is to wear
A Green Shirt on Thursday
Green Shirt Thurs, Green Shirt Thurs
Green Shirts on all day
Oh, what fun it is to wear
A Green Shirt on Thursday

It’s close to midnight and something Green is lurking in the dark
Under the moonlight you see a Shirt that almost stops your heart
You try to scream but terror takes the sound before you make it
You start to freeze as horror looks you right between the eyes
You’re paralyzed

Cause this is Green Shirt, Thursday night
And your Green Shirt’ll save you from the beast about to strike
You know it’s Green Shirt, Thursday night
You’re fighting for your life inside a killer Green Shirt tonight

Well, you can tell by the way I use my walk
I’m a Green Shirt guy, no time to talk
Music loud and Green Shirts worn
I’ve been wearin Green since I was born
And now it’s all right, it’s O.K.
As long as you wear Green Thursday

We can try to understand
Green Shirt Thursday’s effect on man


Whether you’re a brother
Or whether you’re a mother
You’re wearin Green Shirts, wearin Green Shirts
Feel the city breakin
And everybody shakin
And we’re wearin Green Shirts, wearin Green Shirts
Ah, ha, ha, ha
Wearin Green Shirts
Wearin Green Shirts
Ah, ha, ha, ha
Wearin Green Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiirts
Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered weak and weary
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping
As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door
‘Tis some visitor,’ I muttered, ‘tapping at my chamber door
Only this and nothing more’

Open here I flung the shutter, when, with many a flirt and flutter
In there stepped a stately Green Shirt of the saintly days of yore
Not the least obeisance made it; not a minute stopped or stayed it
But, with mien of lord or lady, perched above my chamber door
Perched upon a bust of Pallas just above my chamber door
Perched, and sat, and nothing more

Then this odd Green Shirt beguiling my sad fancy into smiling
By the grave and stern decorum of the countenance it wore
‘Though thy sleeves be shorn and shaven, thou,’ I said, ‘art sure no craven
Ghastly grim and ancient Green Shirt wandering from the nightly shore
Tell me what thy lordly name is on the Night’s Plutonian shore’
Quoth the Green Shirt, ‘Nevermore.’

Stone: Hello?
Williams: Ay, who, whassup?
Stone: Nothin', B, watchin' the game, wearin' a Green Shirt. Whassup wit'chu?
Williams: Nothin', watchin' the game, wearin' a Green Shirt.
Stone: True, true.

If everybody had a Green Shirt
Across the USA
Then everybody’d be wearin’
Theirs on Thursday
You’d seem ‘em wearing green hoodies
T-shirts and tank tops too
A bushy bushy green sweater
Green Shirt Thursday

You’d see green on at Wah Fu
Saint Louis County line
Webster Groves and Kirkwood
Brown Street’s BW3s
All over the Midwest
And down at Chipotle

Everybody’s wearin’ Green Shirts
Green Shirt Thursday

Can I help you enjoy this Thursday?

Happy people soar over Green Shirt-covered mountaintops and waterfalls of caramel.
Prancing nougat in a Green Shirt sings a song of satisfaction to the world

Take me out to the ball game
Take me out with the crowd
Buy me some Green Shirts and Cracker Jack
I don't care if I never get back
Let us root, root, root for the Green Shirts
If they aren't worn it's a shame
For it's one or two Green Shirts you've got
On the old Thursday

Thursday in my Green Shirt
I think it was the 4th of July
Thursday in my Green Shirt
I think it was the 4th of July
People dancing, people laughing
A man selling Green Shirts
Singing Thursday songs
Will you sing along with this man?
Can you dig it? (yes, I can)
And I’ve been waiting such a long time
For Thursday

Thursday in my Green Shirt
You’d think it was the 4th of July
Thursday in my Green Shirt
You’d think it was the 4th of July
People talking, really smiling
A man playing guitar
Singing for us all
Will you help him change the world?
Can you dig it? (yes, I can)
And I’ve been waiting such a long time
For today

Slow motion riders fly the color of the day
A bronze man still can send messages his own way
Listen children all is not lost
All is not lost

I fought the Green Shirt and the Green Shirt won

Yeah, once I was a boogie singer...
playin in a rock & roll band
I never had no problems...
burnin down the one night stands
And everything around me...
got to start to feelin so low
And I decided quickly...
to disco down and check out the show

Yeah, they were dancin and singin and movin to the groovin
And just when it hit me somebody turned around and shouted

Wear that funky Green Shirt white boy
Wear that funky Green Shirt right
Wear that funky Green Shirt white boy
Lay down that white shirt and wear that funky Green Shirt till you die
(hey,hey) Till you die...yeah, yeah

I don't wanna grow up. I'm a Green Shirt Thurs kid. There's a million toys on Green Shirt Thurs that I can play with. More bikes, more trains, more video games, it's the biggest day there is. I don't want to grow up, because then if I did, I wouldn't be a Green Shirt Thurs kid.

Talking away
I don't know what I'm to say
I'll say it anyway
Thursday's another day to find you
Shying away
I'll be coming for your love, OK?

Put on me
Put me on
I'll be gone
In a day, it’s true

So needless to say I'm odds and ends
But I’ll be, stumbling away
Slowly learning that Thursday’s OK
Say after me,
It's better to be safe than sorry

Put on me
Put me on
I'll be gone
In a day, it’s true

The things that you say
Is it life or just to play my worries away?
Your Green Shirt’s all you’ve got to remember
You’re shying away
I'll be coming for you anyway

Put on me
Put me on
I'll be gone
In a day

Oh, say, can you see, by the dawn's early light,
What so proudly we hailed at last Thursday’s last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars, through the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?
And the tee shirt’s Green glare, red shirts bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our Shirt was still there.
O say, does that star-spangled Green Shirt yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of Thursday?


O Green Shirt!
Our home and native tee!
True patriot love in all thy sons decree.
With glowing hearts we see thee rise,
On Thursday, strong and free!
From far and wide,
O Green Shirt, we stand on guard for thee.
God keep Thursday glorious and free!
O Green Shirt, we stand on guard for thee.
O Green Shirt, we stand on guard for thee.

Then God said: "Let there be Green Shirts, to separate this day from all other days. Let them give whoever wears them great powers on this day. Those wearing a Green Shirt will be unrivaled in all ways." And so it happened: God made Green Shirts, and those who wore them on this day were granted magnificent abilities. God saw how good it was. Evening came, and morning followed--Green Shirt Thursday.

Say!
I like Green Shirts on Thursday!
I do! I like them here, today!
And I would wear them in a boat.
And I would wear them with a goat...
And I will wear them in the rain.
And in the dark. And on a train.
And in a car. And in a tree.
They are so good, so good, you see!
So I will wear them in a box.
And I will wear them with a fox.
And I will wear them in a house.
And I will wear them with a mouse.
And I will wear them here and there.
Say! I will wear them ANYWHERE!

I've paid my dues
Time after time
I've worn Green Shirts;
Gotten away with some crime
And bad mistakes
I've made few
I've had my share of sand kicked in my face
But the shirts have come through
And the list can go on and on and on and on...
It's Green Shirt Thursday, my friends
And we'll wear Green Shirts till the end
It's Green Shirt Thursday
It's Green Shirt Thursday
No time for blue shirts
'Cause it's Green Shirt Thursday...In the world
