There once was a man named Phan Who lived in the hills of Ireland He didn't see the Apple tree Growing right beneath his feet The apple tree grew so tall That it was big and strong by fall The man peered up at the tree Then he fell onto his knees
The tree it spoke certain words It told the man about the birds The birds they were suffering No songs the birds could even sing The man he was so surprised That he looked down with teary eyes The songs that the birds would sing Have been the joy, but the suns fading
Show us light the tree told Phan So the man devised a plan He watched the birds fly all day And he came back with something to say The Apple tree was listening As the man started to scream The reason that the birds were sad Because for years the man was mad
