lyrics

You have one decision here!
Do you or don't you?
You have one decision here!
Will you or won't you?

Will you decide
that you must cut him down?
Will you decide
to wear his foot as your crown?

That's what you must decide.
What do you require?
That's what you must decide.
Will you cut, cut him down?

He's grown outside all year.
He has gotten good and strong.
He's grown outside all year.
But, will you cut him down?

We need his fruit!
We need his fruit!
We don't want to be rude,
but we, we need his fruit.

I know you want to do something super cool
with the stuff we clear, clear out.
You could wear his foot, yes, as a crown.
We just need to cut him down!

And if we cut him down, down, down.
What sort of sound will be found all around?
Will he scream or plead or pop
or will he not make any sound at all?

I want to know, and I almost want to know
enough to cut him down.
But we need his fruit! That is what I said.
And to get it we must cut him down.

We will cut him down, and drain him dry.
And burn the dregs on logs so high.
But we need to, we need to, yes, cut him down.
So you have a choice to make.

(I know he's your brother and all.)

Mr. Beany's Bitty Band

We're a one-person band fronted by a human who self-describes as a mad artist. We invented the "crapcapella" genre, and remain a proponent, though we now support the term "folk acapella" as well. We love improvised music as well as sheet music.
