Squinkly bing bong shaking at the knees
Willow trees are quaky just a-bendin' in the breeze
Tickle me tulip you're a flower in the crown
I liked the way it sounded when you did it upside down
Rubber band snap and a clippity clap
Did you hear what happened Alli when I tipped my hat?
If you follow your glee to the sycamore tree
You just might find a rabbit in the willowy snee
I'll take you to the movies and I'll take you to the stream
I'll tell you that I love you in the moonlight's beam
With a song and a joke and twinkle in the eye
We might just take you on a ride in the sky!
