ch /ch
I often sit alone up in a tree
waving to the ones that wave at me
ch /ch
I think well just how stupid can they be
ch /ch
| Dm | Ddim/G# |
waving to a man up in a tree
what they don't know is I am counting them
I even count the ladies and the men
ch /ch
I put the numbers in my little book
ch /ch
| Dm | Ddim/G# |
and only me can ever have a look
all I ask is a piece of mind
which I lost somewhere down amongst the mess
all I want is for people to be kind
and walk slower to be counted when they pass
ch /ch
I think well just how stupid can they be
ch /ch
| Dm | Ddim/G# |
waving to a man up in a tree
I know that I will have to stop my fun
when I meet a girl who I can not count on
ch /ch
maybe marry her and happy we would be
ch /ch
| Dm | Ddim/G# |
not counting but just sitting up a tree
I put the numbers in my little book
ch /ch
| Dm | Ddim/G# |
and only me can ever have a look
I think well just how stupid can they be
ch /ch
| Dm | Ddim/G# |
waving to a man up in a tree
ch /ch
