Lyrics
Morris, why are you having that tree cut down?
Because, it symbolizes something of great value to me
And I am going to have it put 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)
From the worst to the best
When it comes to cutting a rug, I'll put you to the test
Ain't nobody better, is what they're telling me
"Say, Morris, what's that dance you're doing?"
"Well, I'm doing the Oak Tree, ha ha"
(Oak Tree!) I'll put you to the test
(Oak Tree!) When it comes to dancing, I'm 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 boogaloo, or the chicken, that ain't me
But you can bet your bottom dollar, girl, I can do the Oak Tree, look out
(Oak Tree!) I'll put you to the test
(Oak Tree!) When it comes to dancing, I'm the best
(Oak Tree!) Ready to debut
(Oak Tree!) Spread your branches, you know what to do
Let me shake my leaves
(Hey, you guys, look, it's Morris dancing his new dance)
(Oh yeah, what's he call it?)
(The Oak Tree, I saw him chopping down the tree this morning)
(Oak Tree!) I'll put you to the test
(Oak Tree!) When it comes to dancing, I'm the best
(Oak Tree!) Ready to debut
(Oak Tree!) Spread your branches, you know what to do
Watch me dance!
(Oak Tree!) I'll put you to the test
(Oak Tree!) When it comes to dancing, I'm the best
(Oak Tree!) Ready to debut
(Oak Tree!) Spread your branches, you know what to do
You're working overtime, that's how to feel the best
Taking care of business, girl, and I won't settle for less
Tell me your name, you're looking kinda right
Slip into your red dress, girl, I wanna take you out tonight
We're gonna do the
(Oak Tree!) I'll put you to the test
(Oak Tree!) When it comes to dancing, I'm the best
(Oak Tree!) Ready to debut
(Oak Tree!) Spread your branches, you know what to do
Ah, okay
The perfect imposition, baby, come dancing like a tree
It doesn't 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'll put you to the test
(Oak Tree, Oak Tree) You know that I'm the best
(Oak Tree, Oak Tree) Everybody's cool
(Oak Tree, Oak Tree) What I'm telling you
Oh, let's organize?
I want everybody to sing
(Oak Tree, Oak Tree) I'll put you to the test
(Oak Tree, Oak Tree) You know that I'm the best
(Oak Tree, Oak Tree) Everybody's cool
(Oak Tree, Oak Tree) What I'm telling you
(Oak Tree, Oak Tree)
(Oak Tree, Oak Tree)
