I saw wonder boys, swinging on birches, on the seamy side,
I saw tender girls, swinging on birches, in the nature wide,
Yippee! I told them let me have a swing of riches,
Woof! Woof! Now I dreamt of going back to birches ……….
Human fortunes swing but not the birches - king; I like it that's why!
Sing a song, Busy bell Rang, I can guess no-more, oh man! I'm too busy.
Yonder! Stood a banyan tree by riverside!
Whoopee! Where my father and his father played,
When young, I and my son played a game seek and hide;
My father died and his father died, Soon I may die!
My son will die but not the banyan; I like it that's why!
The artificial bell knelled; I can say no-more, oh man! I'm too busy.
Yahoo! I met a tree in the nature's dime - ooh, giant casuarina!
My sister & I played with mom & dad - aah, green ballerina!
Now, tears tumble-down, a hustle and bustle in my heart Marina!
It lives for donkey's years with branches limitless, oh, royal czarina!
Generations countless, but not my kindred souls, I like it that's why!
Ding-a-ling, dingdong bell; I can think no-more, oh man! I'm too busy.
The tree moves some to tears of joy, oh! oh! oh!
For others, it's a green toy standing in the way, ow! ow! ow!
Remaining others scarcely see the nature at all, a powwow!
But to the eyes of man with heart and soul, wow!
Nature is a wonderland; a delightful fairyland, I like it that's why!
Electronic bell is screeching; I can feel no-more, oh man! I'm too busy.
