There's a little tree in my yard
It was a very very hot summer
A great big green caterpillar
Was eating the leaves of the tree
There's a little tree in my yard
It was a very very hot summer
A great big green caterpillar
Was eating the leaves of the tree
Oh my dear the little tree
I want to help the little tree
Oh my poor little tree
If I don't help it will be bare
My my my little tree
My my my little tree
There are many trees in the forest
It was a very very hot summer
A big bulldozing caterpillar
Was pushing down all the trees
There are many trees in the forest
It was a very very hot summer
A big bulldozing caterpillar
Was pushing down all the trees
Oh, my dear, the little trees
We've gotta help the little trees
Oh my poor little trees
If we don't help the earth will be bare
My my my little tree
My my my little tree
A few months have passed
It was a refreshing autumn
I came down to my yard
The tree was flowering
Oh, my sweet little tree
Beautiful white flowers
Oh, my sweet little tree
Someday you'll be a big tree
My my my little tree
My my my little tree
My my my little tree
My my my little tree
My my my little tree
My my my little treeshe said don't worry baby
i'll do my own crying
i'm a big girl now
now i'm gonna be okay
yes i'll find a new way of living
you know i will
and you lie there without sleeping
and you stare at your wall
and you realize you're not weeping
you don't need her anymore
you say don't hate me baby
it won't hurt you if you do
you got no reason not to
she'll kiss you on the head
says there's no easy road for leaving
if it hurts you too
and you lie there without sleeping
and you stare at your wall
and you realize you're not weeping
you don't need her anymore
you walk by the old place
looks like just any other place
yeah that's what you say
you say i'll be okay
yes i'll find a new way of living
sure i will
and you lie there without sleeping
and you stare at your wall
and you realize you're not weeping
you don't need her anymore
and you lie there without sleeping
and you stare at your wall
and you realize you're not weeping
'cause you don't need her anymore
you guess that it's over
