Sparrow in the Tree Top Songtext
von The Andrews Sisters

Sparrow in the treetop, sparrow in the treetop
Though he loves his mate
Sparrow in the treetop, sparrow in the treetop
Scared of goin′ home because it's too darn late

Don′t look at me, sweetheart, with scorn in your eyes
I been out all night, I'm gonna tell you no lies
Stopped in one place, I heard them singin' a song
Like a lonely sparrow, I started singin′ along
Just singin′

{In the tavern} Sparrow in the treetop, sparrow in the treetop
{All night sittin' in the tavern}, though he loves his mate
{In the tavern} Sparrow in the treetop, sparrow in the treetop
{Singin′ songs} Scared of goin' home because it′s too darn late


In walked a blonde and, dear, she asked me to dance
I told that blonde(no, no, no, no) that there wasn't a chance
That there wasn′t a chance
I love my kids and my beautiful wife
Is that the honest truth, dear?
Oh, I swear by my life
I get to singin'

{In the tavern} Sparrow in the treetop, sparrow in the treetop
{All night sittin' in the tavern}, though he loves his mate
{In the tavern} Sparrow in the treetop, sparrow in the treetop
{Singin′ songs} Scared of goin′ home because it's too darn late

There′s things I am sweetheart, and things that I ain't
′Cause you're a man and a man is no saint
Won′t you forgive, 'cause I'm tellin′ you true
I was in that tavern, only thinkin′ of you, {only thinkin' of you}
I get to singin′

{In the tavern} Sparrow in the treetop, sparrow in the treetop
{All night sittin' in the tavern}, though he loves his mate
{In the tavern} Sparrow in the treetop, sparrow in the treetop
{Singin′ songs} Scared of goin' home because it′s too darn late
Scared of goin' home because it's too darn late
