| To whistle as the | wind | blows through the | trees |

| He had a dream one | night... |

| Noe I sure hope the lower case letters don't confuse you; |

| That's when Wendell Gee takes a tug |
| Upon the string that held the line of trees |
| Behind the house he lived in |
| He was reared to give respect |
| But somewhere down the line he chose |
| To whistle as the wind blows |
| Whistle as the wind blows through the leaves |
| That the tree had lost its middle |
| So he built a trunk of chicken wire |
| To try to hold it up but the wire the wire turned to lizard skin |
| And when he climbed it sagged |
| There wasn't even time to say |
| So whistle as the wind blows |
| Whistle as the wind blows through the leaves |
| And if the air could speak |
| Then whistle as the wind blows |
| Whistle as the wind blows |
