They Might Be Giants Out of a Tree lyrics

Get your eight year-old out of a tree
Get your eight year-old out of a tree
Got up there
Quite a ways

There's no ladder as tall as that tree
And what's sadder is he's still in that tree
Just what could've made him
Of course you forbade him
He's a child

Hear the sounds of laughter
High above the rafters
He's gone wild

Neighbors shocked but the all still agree
There's no talking him down from that tree

And it rains
Still he stays

Get your eight year-old out of a tree
Get your eight year-old out of a tree

Now your nine year-old lives in a tree
Now your nine year-old wants no T.V.
Not a stage
Not a phase

Now your nine year-old has been set free
Now your nine year-old's home is a tree
