about

Up in a tree, that's where I like to be.

lyrics

Mommy said get in the car
Let us go have tea
I said I think that sounds boring
I just wanna climb a tree

I just wanna climb a tree
Up in a tree, that’s where I wanna be
Just like a little monkey
I just wanna climb a tree

Daddy said come down from there
It’s time to eat some snails
Would you like them raw
Or cooked inside a pail

I said I just wanna climb a tree…

Grandpa said come down and we’ll
Go swimming if you please
But I said no I think I’d rather
Hang here on my knees

Chorus
