Ho-lala, ho-lala, holala, holalala Ho-lala, ho-lala, holala, holala Here's a story with a reason and a rhyme
Ah, how do you do, my name is Master Root (Master Root) You hardly ever, ever get the chance to see me, now, do you? (See me now, do you?) But listen to me, please, every single tree has got some roots under the ground(Wow!) Planting it, for sure (Uh-um) so securely down With a grapple, grapple, grapple (Grapple, grapple, grapple) Reach-y, reach-y, reach-y all day (Master Root!) "That's me!"
Ah, I'm working hard through every spring, summer, fall (Spring, summer, fall) Though in the winter, it gets so cold that I can hardly work at all (hardly work at all) When the leaves have fallen down, branches are all withered on the big tree in the ground (What a fix!) It's all up to me (Uh-um) to see it won't fall down With a grapple, grapple, grapple (Grapple, grapple, grapple) Reach-y, reach-y, reach-y all day (Master Root!) "Here I am!"
Ah, last night a little mole said to me (Said to me) You know, that lately forests are getting much smaller every year (smaller every year) Oh, if they cut them down, who could say, "you can't see the forest for the trees" (Nobody) Growing them again (Uh-um) would take years and years With a grapple, grapple, grapple (Grapple, grapple, grapple) Reach-y, reach-y, reach-y all day (Master Root!) "That's me!"
From the southern countries to the countries of the north Each root connects to another and itself Binding all the world in a tightly, woven bag (Yeah!) That's just the way it is, I don't mean to brang (Don't mean to brag)
You know, even I would like to get out someday Take it easy and see what it's like to let the bright sun hit me, you know? I sometimes dream about that But, you know, everybody's got their own place in the world Well, I gotta spre~ad way down at the very bottom And the treetop's gotta keep stretching up, stretching up to the sky Growing tall, that's what it's gotta do, right? Stretching up, stretching up, yeah
Ah, around me everyone is sleeping sound (sleeping sound) Cute as can be, all of the seeds and baby bugs in the ground (Bugs in the ground) Pretty soon each will come out, make their parents proud as we all watch their futures bloom Spring, it isn't far (Uh-um) it will be here soon So, everyone (So, everyone) Do the best you can do With a grapple, grapple, grapple (Grapple, grapple, grapple) Yeah, grapple, grapple, grapple (Grapple, grapple, grapple) Reach-y, reach-y, reach-y all day (Master Root!) "That's me!" (Master Root!) "Here I am!"
