Branching Out

When I grow up I want to be a tree
 Want to make my home with the birds and the bees
 And the squirrels, they can count on me
 When I grow up to be a tree
 I'll let my joints get stiff, put my feet in the ground
 Take the winters off and settle down
 Keep my clothes till they turn brown
 When I grow up, I'm gonna settle down
 CHORUS:
 I'm gonna reach, I'm gonna reach
 I'm gonna reach, reach for the sky
 I'm gonna reach, I'm gonna reach
 I'm gonna reach, till I know why
 When the spring comes by I'm gonna get real green
 If the dogs come by I'm gonna get real mean
 On windy days, I'll bend and lean
 When I grow up I'm gonna get real green
 (BRIDGE)
 If I should fall in storm or slumber
 Please don't turn me into lumber
 I'd rather be a Louisville slugger
 Swinging for the seats...
 repeat chorus and fade
