A Tree Is A Tree Is A Tree

A Tree is a Tree is a Tree

“A tree grows in Brooklyn”
To heck with all that
A tree grows in Memphis
And frightens a cat

A tree grows in Destin
A lemon tree yes
I’ll dance at the party
And have lemon ches

An outhouse is leaning
In ol’ Mississip’
A tree grows beside it
I don’t give a flip

A tree grows out west
In the Monterey sun
And shades the young cowboy
Intent on his fun

So don’t give me Brooklyn
I’m no lunatic
Retire to your own tree
And whittle a stick
