Sycamore Tree lyrics

At half past eight by the sycamore tree

I'll be there, wait and see!

'Cause I've got a date by the sycamore tree

With someone I adore!

I said I'd wait by the sycamore tree

Any night he was free

I won't be late 'cause going to be

Well worth waiting for!

He'll say he's glad he found me

And I'll be kind of shy!

He'll put his arms around me

At least if he doesn't I shall wanna know why!

'Cause I'm all teed up and I'm ready to go

I don't need mistletoe!

And I'm all set for a wonderful show

With everything just right

To fall in love by the sycamore tree tonight!

When I was oh so very small

My mother used to give me all

The good advice she thought her daughter needed

She used to tell me what to do

And furthermore, what not to do!

And said that I had got to do what she did!

Oh, I wonder if she was right?

I shall see for myself tonight!

At half past eight by the sycamore tree

I'll be there, oh, wait and see!

'Cause I've got a date by the sycamore tree

With someone I adore!

Now I said I'd wait by the sycamore tree

Any night he was free

I won't be late 'cause going to be

Well worth waiting for!

He'll say he's glad he found me

And I'll be kind of shy!

He'll put his arms around me

At least if he doesn't I shall wanna know why!

'Cause I'm all teed up and I'm ready to go

I don't need mistletoe!

And I'm all set for a wonderful show

With everything just right

And old man moon is a-gonna be free

To light the way for my honey and me

To fall in love by the sycamore tree tonight!
