THAT BEAUTIFUL TREE performed by Heather Bishop and Don Benedictson
"Hey! Wow! This must be Central Park. It's really quite beautiful. Look. There's birds singing. The sky is blue. And there's a real tree."
A tree is just a tree to you and me But if you were a blue jay, that's not all you'd see You'd look upon the leaves from way up in the air And know your nest and family is waiting for you there
Inside that tree That beautiful tree That tree
A tree is just a tree to you and me But if you were a squirrel, that's not all you'd see You'd gather all the acorns in a hole inside that tree And when the winter's hunger came you'd be glad to see
That tree That beautiful tree That tree
A tree is just a tree to you and me But if you were a caterpillar, that's not all you'd see You'd make your small cocoon in a leaf to keep you dry And in a week or so you'd come out a butterfly
From that tree That beautiful tree That tree
A tree is just a tree to you and me But if it was a summer day that's not all you'd see You'd be dry and you'd be thirsty and needing lemonade And plop yourself down by the roots and bask there in the shade
Of that tree That beautiful tree That tree That beautiful tree That tree
"Oh no! Aaaahh! Oh yeah, I forgot. Ducks don't land in trees..."
