The Baby Tree

           C                     Am  G
There's an island way out in the sea
          C                       Am    G
Where the babies they all grow on trees
         F                 C            Am
And itŐs jolly good fun to swing in the sun
        G                      C       Am
But you gotta watch out if you sneeze, sneeze
    G                      C
You gotta watch out if you sneeze

         C                      Am     G
Yeah you gotta watch out if you sneeze
    C                        Am    G
For swingin' up there in the trees
       F                          C              Am
You're liable to cough, you might very well fall off
    G                        C      Am
And tumble down flop on your knees, knees
G                        C
Tumble down flop on your knees

    C                     Am   G
And when the stormy winds wail
        C                      Am   G
And the breezes blow high in a gale
          F                    C            Am
There's a curious dropping and flopping and plopping
    G                      C     Am
And fat little babies just hail, hail
G                      C
Fat little babies just hail

        C                     Am   G
And the babies lie there in a pile
        C                       Am    G
And the adults they come after awhile
         F                      C           Am
And they always pass by all the babies that cry
    G                     C      Am
And take only babies that smile, smile
G                     C
Take only babies that smile
     G                             C
Even triplets and twins if they'll smile
