The Oak Tree Lyrics By Morris Day

    morris why are you having that tree cut down
    because it symbolizes something of great value to me
    and i am going to have it put in my living room do you mind
    oh what does it symbolize to you morris
    baby just relax a moment and i will show you
    not right now

    all in a line from the worst to the best
    when it comes to cutting a rug
    i’ll put you to the test
    ain’t nobody better
    is what they’re telling me
    say morris what’s that dance you’re doing
    well i’m doing the oak tree haha

    oak tree i’ll put you to the test
    oak tree when it comes to dancing i’m the best
    oak tree ready to debut
    oak tree spread your branches you know what to do

    dancing like a tree
    see my branches never rest
    it may sound kind of silly girl
    but i do it with finesse
    you see i never do the boogaloo
    or the chicken that ain’t me
    but you can bet your bottom dollar girl
    i can do the oak tree look out

    let me shake my leaves
    hey you guys look it is morris dancing his
    new dance
    oh yeah what is it called
    the oak tree i saw him chopping down the
    tree this morning

    watch the dance

    working overtime
    it’s hard to be the best
    taking care of business girl
    and i will not settle for less
    tell me your name
    you are looking kind of right
    slip into your red dress girl
    i am going to take you out tonight
    we are going to do the

    aah okay
    the perfect imposition baby
    you caught me dancing like a tree
    it does not really matter girl
    you know you can’t mess with me
    look out

    shake your leaves

    oak tree
