Tie a Yellow Ribbon (round the old oak tree)
Meet You In the Middle- Diamond Rio
I’d start walking your way
You’d start walking mine
We’d meet in the middle
’neath that old georgia pine
Oh Christmas Tree
Well, the obvious answer...
The Trees by Rush
There is unrest in the forest
There is trouble with the trees
For the maples want more sunlight
And the oaks ignore their pleas
The trouble with the maples
And they're quite convinced they're right
They say the oaks are just too lofty
And they grab up all the light
But the oaks can't help their feelings
If they like the way they're made
And they wonder why the maples
Can't be happy in their shade
There is trouble in the forest
And the creatures all have fled
As the maples scream, "Oppression!"
And the oaks just shake their heads
So the maples formed a union
And demanded equal rights
The oaks are just too greedy
We will make them give us light
Now there's no more oak oppression
For they passed a noble law
And the trees are all kept equal
By hatchet, axe, and saw
Don't Sit Under the Apple Tree
Carolina in the Pines
There's a tree(there's a tree)
Out in the backyard
That never has been broken by the wind
And the reason (and the reason)
It's still standing
Is it's strong enough to bend.
The Judds
They took all the trees
And put them in a tree museum
And they charged all the people
A dollar and a half just to see 'em
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got
Till it's gone
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot.
Joni Mitchell /Amy Grant
And lastly from my childhood ...
Lemon tree, very pretty, and the lemon flower is sweet
But the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat
One day beneath the lemon tree, my love and I did lie
A girl so sweet that when she smiled, the stars rose in the sky
We past that summer lost in love beneath the lemon tree
Peter, Paul & Mary
There's the window to the room
Where she lays her pretty head
I planted the TREE out by the fence
Not long after we moved in

Can you say ADDICTED to this game??? Must go do something productive!
How about a nod to the world of musical theatre and the great Stephen Sondheim:
"No need to be afraid there. There's something in the glade there."
"Into the woods and out of the woods and home before dark!"
