THE TREES OF AFRICA

Come on to the trees of Africa
climb up with me
to the trees of Africa to,
See what we see

In the trees of Africa
climb up with me and we'll see
What is alive in

The trees of Africa
climb up with me
to the trees of Africa to
See what we see

In the trees of Africa
climb up with me and we'll see
What is alive

You know there are many
different kinds of trees,
growing on the land,
in Africa

And different kinds of creatures
live up in those trees,
in Africa

And trees help things
in the forest grow
in some,
unusual ways, In Africa

They use the sun
to grow and grow
grow more every day

In the trees of Africa
come up with me
to the trees of Africa to,
See what we see

In the trees of Africa
climb up with me and we'll see
What is alive

with the names of just a few of the African trees
1,2,3

Black Monkey Thorn trees
Beechwood trees
Cabbage Trees
Candelabra Trees
Coral Trees
Wild Fig trees
Horn-pod trees
Monkey Orange tree
and

Trees help things in the forest grow
By providing shade for the animals homes

Now here's a list
you repeat after me,
with the names of animals
who live in the trees
1,2,3

Chimpanzees
Toucans

They all live in the trees of Africa
as you can see
in the trees of Africa
up here with me

What's up ahead through the trees?
