Oh baby won't you come with me

I'll tell you where I'm going

Over the meadow, down by the stream

Under the shade of a fig tree

So won't you come along

Won't you come along

Well, come with me

Underneath the shade

The shade of a fig tree

And it won't take long

It won't take long

'Till you'll be beside me

Shake it mama, shake

Shake me up in my tree

Well, shake me up in my tree

Oh the sunlight streaks across the meadow

Comes speaking through the canopy

The shadow suggests the shape of my interests

Under your fig leaf

So won't you come along

Won't you come along

Well, come with me

Underneath the shade

The shade of a fig tree

And it won't take long

It won't take long

'Till you'll be beside me

Shake it mama, shake

Shake me up in my tree

Shake me up in my tree

Mmm

Alright

So won't you come a long

Won't you come along

Well, come with me

Underneath the shade

The shade of a fig tree

And it won't take long

It won't take long

'Till you'll be beside me, baby

Shake it mama, shake

Shake me up in my tree

Yes, shake me up in my tree

Uprooting's heavy on the tree

And nature has been good to thee

You've been sittin' pretty with your prudence on your paw swingin'

I've been barking up the wrong tree

So won't you come along

Won't you come along

Well, come with me

Underneath the shade

The shade of a fig tree

And it won't, and it won't

And it won't take long

'Till you'll be beside me, baby

Shake it mama shake

Shake me up in my tree

Oh, shake me up in my tree

Shake me up in my tree
