Lyrics

Guess what? I've spoken to Norm
We're gonna live in the trees
Didier will be transformed
We're gonna live in the trees
We're gonna live in the trees

I'll bring you fat juicy worm
I'll bring you millipedes
Open your beak and close your eyes
We're gonna live in the trees
We're gonna live in the trees

Norm tells me you're ready to fly
We're gonna live in the trees
You're that much closer to the sky
We're gonna live in the trees
We're gonna live in the trees

You either take off or you don't
You can't fly by degrees
But fly an inch and you'll fly a mile
We're gonna live in the trees
We're gonna live in the trees
We're gonna live in the trees

Now thanks to Norm, there's a nest up there
We're gonna live in the trees
We're there in air and air to spare
We're gonna live in the trees
We're gonna live in the trees

Virginia Woolf had a troubled mind
She was never at ease
But you're my children, you'll be fine
We're gonna live in the trees
We're gonna live in the trees
We're gonna live in the trees
We're gonna live in the trees

Guess what? I've spoken to Norm
We're gonna live in the trees
