Sitting in My Tree

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I often sit alone up in a tree Waving to the ones that wave at me I think, 'Well, just how stupid can they be Waving to a man up in a tree?' [Verse 2] What they don't know is I am counting them I even count the ladies and the men I put the numbers in my little book And only me can ever have a look [Bridge] All I ask is a peace of mind Which I lost somewhere down amongst the mess All I want is for people to be kind And walk slower to be counted when they pass [Piano Solo/Verse 3] I think, 'Well, just how stupid can they be Waving to a man up in a tree?' [Verse 4] I know that I will have to stop my fun When I meet a girl who I cannot count on Maybe marry her and happy we would be Not counting, but a-sitting up a tree [Outro] I put the numbers in my little book And only me can ever have a look I think, 'Well, just how stupid can they be Waving to a man up in a tree?'
