lyrics

There once was a tree,
Who though he must be,
Taller than he really was.

All the squirrels on his limbs,
Strove to remind him,
That his trunk was thin,
Compared to,
The trunk of the Yew.

But the tree wouldn't heed,
The rodent's pleas,
And he stretched out his leaves,
So far,
Up towards the stars.

Well the wind starts to blow,
And then came the snow,
And next thing you know,
That tree did fall,
Small after all.

With his trunk on the ground,
The tree looked around,
And it was then that he found,
There was no one,
Quite so low as him.

Take a lesson from the timber,
And always remember,
That the truth is better,
Than a lie,
Spit out your pride,
Lets all be humble.
