THE DANCE OF THE CHERRY TREES   John Spillane

Let me tell you 'bout the cherry trees
Every April in our town
They put on the most outrageous clothes
And they sing and they dance around
Hardly anybody sings or dances
Hardly anybody dances or sings
In this town that I call my own
You have to hand it to the cherry trees

And they seem to be saying,
To me anyway ;

"You know we've travelled all around the Sun
You know it's taken us one whole year
Well done everyone, Well Done"

Cherry Blossom in the air
Cherry Blossom on the street
Cherry Blossom in your hair
And a Blossom at your feet
You know we've travelled all around the Sun
You know it's taken us one whole year
Well done everyone, Well Done
On behalf of me and the Cherry Trees, Well Done!

You know me, sometimes I think I'm getting old
Not as young as I used to be
So it means even more to me
To see the Dance of the Cherry Trees

And they seem to be saying
Is it only to me?;

"You know we've travelled all around the Sun
You know it's taken us one whole year
Well Done Everyone, Well Done!
You know we've travelled all around the Sun
You know it's taken us one whole year
Well Done Everyone, Well Done!"
On behalf of me and the Cherry Trees, Well Done
Well Done Everyone, Well Done
WELL DONE EVERYONE!
