Nothing to do but play
All the live long day
Nothing to do but play
All the live long day
But fly butterfly, fly butterfly
Don't waste your time away
Up in the tree top singing
Don't you hear the voices ringing
Up in the tree top singing
Don't you hear the voices ringing
But come down zacions, come down
From out that sycamore tree
Wind blowing all day long
So got to travel along
Wind blowing all day long
So got to travel along
But come down zacions, come down
From out that sycamore tree
Up in the tree top singing
Don't you hear the voices ringing
Up in the tree top singing
Don't you hear the voices ringing
But come down zacions, come down
From out that sycamore tree
But come down zacions, come down
From out that sycamore tree
But come down zacions, come down
From out that sycamore tree
