Up in that tree That's where I'll be Hanging out with the peaches and pears Up in that tree That's where I'll be Letting the sun shine down on me And if she asks where I've been Tell her you just don't know 'Cause last time I saw her She hit me with the garden hoe And when I climb down from this tree I don't know what's in store I've been up here for several days Might be here several more Up in that tree that's where I'll be Letting the sun shine down on me Up in that tree that's where I'll be Hanging out with the peaches and pears I ain't taking oranges Hanging out with the peaches and pears Not taking plums Hanging out with the peaches and pears
