I've got a talking parakeet That counts loose change in my penny tree He only makes it up to ten Before he looses count and has to start again The cat I have sits below The penny tree as if to know One day the parakeet will fall asleep And fall out of the penny tree There is a dog tied up nearby That watches from the corner of his eye Little do the cat and parakeet know He untied the rope ages ago I wonder who will be the first To get the deal that is the worst I only know it won't be me As I own the penny tree

The Penny Tree (a nursery rhyme)
I've got a talking parakeet That counts loose change in my penny tree He only makes it up to ten Before he looses count and has to start again The cat I have sits below The penny tree as if to know One day the parakeet will fall asleep And fall out of the penny tree There is a dog tied up nearby That watches from the corner of his eye Little do the cat and parakeet know He untied the rope ages ago I wonder who will be the first To get the deal that is the worst I only know it won't be me As I own the penny tree
