When I'm walking through the woods
The leaves beneath my feet
The sky in view above my head

You take a step
You twirl you whirl
Sending leaves falling about my head

The trees start to laugh
They shake they start
I can clearly see their amusement

As plain as I am me
And you are you

You dance through the trees
You send a pinecone to fall
Your aim is true and it bounces off my head

I stop and look up
You are nowhere in sight, of course
You're as bad as my brothers

The trees decide to join in your fun
A pile of leaves hit me
I vow to get you back

As sure as I am me
And you are you

I turn and run
No one can get me in my glade
You nancing prissy thing

I hear a rustle of leaves
You aren't so sneaky now
You slow down, not sure of what I'll do

I hear the welcome of my trees
They are smarter then you
They know what I will do

As sure as I am me
And you are you

I grin my grin
And set my trap,
Prepare the decoy

The trees laugh their silent laughter
But not at me, no
This time at you He He He

You know I'm up to something
You don't know what
You're an idiot

As sure as I am me
And you are you

They block your view
The trees are wise
They warn me of where you are

I put the finishing touches on
My masterpiece
My wonderful beautiful masterpiece

You run you peer
You don't know
What is in store for you

As sure as I am me
And you are you

The trees return
To their original places
They are wise

You creep you crawl
You spot the decoy
You fall for the trick

I hide I'm silent
I laugh at your folly
I sit back to watch my plan unfold

As sure as I am me
And you are you

The trees shake in their silent laughter
Their branches swaying
There is no breeze

You walk out
Further from the shade of the trees
You creep but it will do you no good

I grab the rope
I wait for the creak of the branches
Ready to release the trap

As sure as I am me
And you are you

You creep forward
Almost there
You hear a creak

I hear it too
Before you can run for cover
I pull the trigger

The trees lean forward
Ready in anticipation
They would hold their breath if they breathed

As sure as I am me
And you are you

It works and you fall
Your expression is priceless
You try to get a hold of something

I step out from my hiding place
And laugh as you fall the five feet to the water
I watch the splash

The trees shower me with leaves
This time in victory
This time I won

As sure as I am me
And you are you
