Lyrics

Cherry In Your Tree

[Chorus]

Cherry, cherry in your tree

Jump down on the ground and make a pie with me

Cherry, cherry in your tree

Jump down on the ground and make a pie with me

[Verse 1]

I got toys like the other boys

(Come down from your tree now

I can set you free now)

I got toys like the other boys

For baking love with you

For baking love with you

[Chorus]

Cherry, cherry in your tree

Jump down on the ground and make a pie with me

Cherry, cherry in your tree

Jump down on the ground and make a pie with me

[Verse 2]

I'm the cook who wrote the book

(Pour a little soul now

Right into the bowl now)

I'm the cook who wrote the book

On baking love with you

On baking love with you

[Bridge]

(Ba ba ba, ba ba ba, ba ba ba)

Cherry in your tree now

(Ba ba ba, ba ba ba, ba ba ba)

Do you love just me now?

[Verse 3]

I'm the chef of the treble clef

(Roll into the flour now

Knead it for an hour now)

I'm the chef of the treble clef

I'm baking love with you

I'm baking love with you

[Chorus / Outro]

Cherry, cherry in your tree

Jump down on the ground and make a pie with me

Cherry, cherry in your tree

Jump down on the ground and make a pie with me

Cherry, cherry in your tree

Jump down on the ground and make a pie with me

Cherry, cherry in your tree

Jump down on the ground and make a pie with me

Cherry, cherry in your tree

Jump down on the ground and make a pie with me
