In a wood there was a tree
the finest tree you ever did see
the tree was in the wood
and the green grass grew all around, around, around
and the green grass grew around.

On that tree there was a branch
the finest branch you ever did see
the branch was on the tree
the tree was in the wood
and the green grass grew all ...

On that branch there was a twig ...
the twig was on the branch,
the branch was on the tree
the tree was in the wood
and the green grass grew ...

On the twig there was a leaf ...

On that leaf there was a nest ...

In that nest there was an egg ...

In that egg there was a bird ...

This song is performed with actions.

[Key D]
