Morris Day The Oak Tree
Spoken Words:
Morris, why are you having that tree cut down?
Because, it symbolizes something of great value to me,
And I am going to have put it in my living room - do
you mind?
Oh, what does it symbolize to you - Morris?
Baby, just relax a moment, and I will show you.
(Not right now).
All in a line from the worst to the best
when it comes to cutting a rug,
I will put you to the test.
Ain't nobody better
That Is what they are telling me
they say - Morris,
What is that dance you are doing?
Well, I am doing the oak tree, ha, ha.
CHORUS:
(Oak tree),
I will put you to the test
(Oak tree)
When it comes to dancing I am the best
(Oak tree)
Ready to debut
(Oak tree)
Spread your branches, you know what to do.
Dancing like a tree
See my branches never rest
It may sound kind of silly, girl
But I do it with finesse
You see, I never do the bugaloo
Or the chicken that isn't me
But you can bet your bottom dollar, girl
I can do the Oak Tree, look out.
Repeat Chorus.
Let me shake my leaves,
(Hey, you guys, look, it is Morris dancing his
new dance)
(Oh, yeah, what is it called?)
(The Oak Tree, I saw him chopping down the
tree this morning)
Repeat Chorus.
Watch me dance
Repeat Chorus.
Working overtime
it is hard to be the best.
Taking care of business, girl
And I will not settle for less
Tell me your name
You are looking kind of right
Slip into your red dress, girl
I am going to take you out tonight
We are going to do the.
(CHORUS)
Aah, okay.
The perfect imposition, baby
you caught me dancing like a tree
it does not really matter, girl
you know you can't mess with me
Look out.
Shake your leaves
Shake your leaves
(Oak tree, oak tree)
(Oak tree, oak tree)
(Oak tree, oak tree)
I will put you to the test
(Oak tree, oak tree)
You know that I am the best
(Oak tree, oak tree)
Everybody is cool
(Oak tree, oak tree)
What I'm telling you
Oh, let us organize?
I want everybody to sing
(Oak tree, oak tree)
I will put you to the test
(Oak tree, oak tree)
You know that I am the best
(Oak tree, oak tree)
Everybody is cool
(Oak tree, oak tree)
What I am telling you
(Oak tree, oak tree)
(Oak tree, oak tree).....
