Oh, how I love to climb up in a tree

Up in the air so blue

I do think it the pleasantest thing

Ever a guy could do

Scaling the trunk and sawing the branch

Till I can see all ’round

Hoping I’m belted and harnessed all right

So they’ll catch me if I fall down!

Till I get back to the Earth again

Back where the chipper chips

The homeowners cheer when I’m in the clear

Don’t they know, I never slip?!

(With apologies to Robert Louis Stevenson.)
