Out Of A Tree Lyrics


They Might Be Giants Out Of A Tree

Get your eight year old out of a tree
Get your eight year old out of a tree
Got up there
Quite a ways
There's no ladder as tall as that tree
And what's sadder is he's still in that tree

Just what could've made him
Of course you forbade him
He's a child
Hear the sounds of laughter
High above the rafters
He's gone wild
Neighbors shocked but they still all agree
There's no talking him down from that tree
And it rains
Still he stays
Get your eight year old out of that tree
Get your eight year old out of that tree

Now your nine year old lives in a tree
Now your nine year old wants no TV
Not a stage
Not a phase
Now your nine year old has been set free
Now your nine year old's home is a tree
