Song: Branching Out

When I grow up I'm gonna be a tree
Wanta 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 until they turn brown
When I grow up I'm gonna settle down

Refrain:
I'm gonna reach (x3) for the sky
I'm gonna reach (x3) til I know why

When spring comes by I'm gonna get real green
When 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

If I should fall in a storm or slumber
Please don't turn me into lumber
I'd rather be a Louisville slugger
Swingin for the seas (C's?)

Refrain:
I'm gonna reach (x3) for the sky
I'm gonna reach (x3) til I know why
