The Trees Full Lyrics

[00:11.19] There is unrest in the forest [00:14.26] There is trouble with the trees [00:16.86] For the maples want more sunlight [00:19.64] And the oaks ignore their pleas [00:22.61] The trouble with the maples [00:50.47] And they're quite convinced they're right [00:53.91] They say the oaks are just too lofty [00:57.22] And they grab up all the light [01:00.64] But the oaks can't help their feelings [01:04.24] If they like the way they're made [01:07.31] And they wonder why the maples [01:11.35] Can't be happy in their shade [01:14.38] There is trouble in the forest [01:23.73] And the creatures all have fled [01:26.36] As the maples scream "Oppression" [01:29.15] And the oaks just shake their heads [01:33.17] [01:35.19] So the maples formed a union [04:01.52] And demanded equal rights [04:04.96] "The oaks are just too greedy [04:08.57] We will make them give us light" [04:12.15] Now there's no more oak oppression [04:15.46] For they passed a noble law [04:19.00] And the trees are all kept equal [04:22.37] By hatchet, axe, and saw [04:30.73]
