Underneath the A-V-O-C-A-D-O T-R-E-E,
There's lots of little avocados green as they can be,
And if I had my way, my dear, it's here I'd always be,
Underneath the A-V-O-C-A-D-O T-R-E-E.
Well, I met her 'neath the avocado tree,
And she looked oh so sweet and green to me;
She said, "Leaf us now get married and you'll see,
How I'll love you by the A-V-O-C-A-D-O T-R-E-E,
I'll love you 'neath the avocado tree."
[CHORUS] Underneath the A-V-O-C-A-D-O T-R-E-E,
There's lots of little avocados green as they can be,
And if I had my way, my dear, it's here I'd always be,
Underneath the A-V-O-C-A-D-O T-R-E-E.
Well, we married and she met my buddy Jim,
And you might say they went out on a limb;
And while I was out working nine to three,
They were there beneath the
A-V-O-C-A-D-O T-R-E-E,
Kissin' 'neath the avocado tree.
[CHORUS] Underneath the A-V-O-C-A-D-O T-R-E-E,
There's lots of little avocados green as they can be,
And if I had my way, my dear, it's here I'd always be,
Underneath the A-V-O-C-A-D-O T-R-E-E.
Then I came home one evenin' most surprisin',
And I caught them in a manner compromisin';
He said, "Can't we talk this over peacefully,"
Now he's buried 'neath the
A-V-O-C-A-D-O T-R-E-E,
I shot him 'neath the avocado tree.
[CHORUS] Underneath the A-V-O-C-A-D-O T-R-E-E,
There's lots of little avocados green as they can be,
And if I had my way, my dear, it's here I'd always be,
Underneath the A-V-O-C-A-D-O T-R-E-E.
Then the posse came and got me with some rope,
I tried to explain but there ain't no hope;
And soon I shall be swinging light and free,
From a branch upon the
A-V-O-C-A-D-O T-R-E-E,
They'll hang me from the avocado tree.
[CHORUS] Underneath the A-V-O-C-A-D-O T-R-E-E,
There's lots of little avocados green as they can be,
And if I had my way, my dear, it's here I'd always be,
Underneath the A-V-O-C-A-D-O T-R-E-E.
