3rd Graders can practice "Getting in a Treetop" by Gustafer Yellowgold to get ready for their concert in December!

Getting in a treetop, high above the yard

I spend my day awake

Getting in a treetop, high above the lawn

With nothing in the way

 

You can see happy

You can feel change

You can hear them laughin’, it’s strange.

 

Getting in a treetop, shouldn’t be a job

You’d ever shrug away

Getting in a treetop, hold your applause

They’re hissing as they sway

 

You can see happy

You can feel change

You can hear them laughin’, it’s strange.

 

WHOOOAAA

AHHHHHHH

You can see happy

You can feel change

You can hear them laughin’, it’s strange.

 

WHOOOAAA

 

Getting in a  treetop, breakin’ my heart

In gettin’ them to stay

Getting in a  treetop, breakin’ my heart

In gettin’ them to stay

 

With clouds upon my face

 

Treetop!

Treetop!

Treetop!

Treetop!
