Sparrow in the treetop, sparrow in the treetop Though he loves his mate Sparrow in the treetop, sparrow in the treetop Scared of goin' home because it's too darn late
Don't look at me, sweetheart, with scorn in your eyes Been out all night, gonna tell you no lies Stopped in one place, heard them singin' a song Heard them singin' a song Like a lonely sparrow, started singin' along
Just singin'
Sparrow in the treetop, sparrow in the treetop Though he loves his mate Sparrow in the treetop, sparrow in the treetop Scared of goin' home because it's too darn late
In walked a blonde and, dear, she asked me to dance I told that blonde that there wasn't a chance I love my kids and my beautiful wife And my beautiful wife That's the honest truth, dear, and I swear by my life
Just singin'
Sparrow in the treetop, sparrow in the treetop Though he loves his mate Sparrow in the treetop, sparrow in the treetop Scared of goin' home because it's too darn late
In the tavern, all night sittin' in the tavern, In the tavern singin' songs
There's things I am sweetheart, and things that I ain't 'Cause I'm a man and a man is no saint Won't you forgive 'cause I'm tellin' you true 'Cause I'm tellin' you true I was in the tavern only thinkin' of you
Just singin'
Sparrow in the treetop, sparrow in the treetop Though he loves his mate Sparrow in the treetop, sparrow in the treetop Scared of goin' home because it's too darn late
Just singin'
Sparrow in the treetop, sparrow in the treetop Though he loves his mate Sparrow in the treetop, sparrow in the treetop Scared of goin' home because it's too darn late
