This old man I've talked about

Broke his own heart

Poured it in the ground

Big red tree grew up and out

Throws up its leaves

And spins round and round



I know all this and more

So take your hat off

When you're talkin' to me

And be there when

I feed the tree



This little squirrel I used to be

Slammed her bike down the stairs

They put silver where her teeth had been

Baby silver tooth, she grins and wins



I know all this and more

So take your hat off

When you're talkin' to me

And be there when

I feed the tree



This old man I used to be

Spins around, around

Around the tree

Silver baby, come to me

I'll only hurt you

In my dreams



I know all this and more

So take your hat off boy

When you're talkin' to me

And be there when

I feed the tree
