Much Ado About the Willow Tree

Come climb the willow tree,

up the weeping branches,

Claudio, from that play we read

years ago in school,

he climbed the willow tree

to make a garland for himself,

Come climb the willow tree to make you a garland,

Hang it round your neck and dance

Come climb the willow tree

Come climb up here with me

Everyone does it, it's what to be done

Come climb the willow tree

and bind me up a garland

hang it round your neck

and spin around with me

"THE PRINCE HATH GOT YOUR HERO"

we yell and yell and yell

The prince hath got your Hero now

He used to have mine

but you're wearing the garland now

so the Prince hath got your Hero

Come climb the willow tree with me

and yell our little chant

and afterwards we'll all lie down

under the weeping branches

and pant and pant and pant

Come climb the willow tree

make a garland and spin

the prince hath got your Hero

and now we hath got you
