The People Tree - Anthony Newley

Hay

Wouldn’t it be nice to make a people tree

The likes of you

The likes of me

We can do it very easily

We barely even have to try

Let a little time go by

And pretty soon before we know it

(soon before we know it)

Suddenly the two of us are one, two, three

And there we see, our people tree

Soon the score is up to four or more

As other little branches grow

(Other little branches grow)

That’s the way it’s meant to go

And there’s no way I know to slow it

(There's no way to slow it)

(What a source of mutual satisfaction when we see the tree bare room)

Evidence beyond dispute of all our mutual attraction

Nothing is as lovely as a people tree

(the people tree)

I think that we

(I'd think that we)

Would all agree

(would all agree)

Of the miracles that God created

Rated number one

Would have to be the people tree
