I'm walking around
Inspecting the grounds
And I have to know
What is or isn't so
|
Dying Elm Trees at Bedfordshire |
If you received a notice
Telling you the grounds look grim
Then you'd know just what to do
If you want live trees
If you want live trees
Oh tie a colored ribbon
'Round this dead elm tree
It's been dead three years
Take a look and see
If you see two colored ribbons
'Round a dead elm tree
They'll chop it down
'Cuz the branches turned brown
Say the gurus of Botany
If you see two colored ribbons
'Round a dead elm tree
Valley Crest declared it dead, dear me
'Cause I couldn't bear to see
A dozen dead elm trees
Plus a truck in Parking Prison
Yet GrassMaster holds the key
A simple colored ribbon's
All I need to doom a tree
Suppose I tied one 'round
Little's Tow Lift pulley tree
It's been twenty-seven years
Do you still shun me?
If you see two colored ribbons
'Round the dead elm trees
I'll write one more song
Though you tell me it's wrong
Put the blame on greed
If you see a colored ribbon
'Round the dead elm tree
Expect to find a clearing
'Cuz I can't believe I see
Two dozen colored ribbons
'Round the old, the dead elm trees
Tie a colored ribbon 'round the dead elm tree
Tie a colored ribbon 'round each dead elm tree
Tie a colored ribbon 'round this dead elm tree
Tie a colored ribbon 'round your dead elm tree
Tie a colored ribbon 'round my dead elm tree
Tie a colored ribbon 'round Fred's dead elm tree
Tie a colored ribbon 'round that dead elm tree
Tie a colored ribbon 'round each dead elm tree
