Sparrow in the treetop, sparrow in the treetop
Though he loves his mate
Sparrow in the treetop, sparrow in the treetop
Scared of goin' home because it's too darn late
Don't look at me, sweetheart, with scorn in your eyes
Been out all night, gonna tell you no lies
Stopped in one place, heard them singin' a song
Like a lonely sparrow, started singin' along
Just singin'
(Sparrow in the treetop, sparrow in the treetop)
(Though he loves his mate)
(Sparrow in the treetop, sparrow in the treetop)
Scared of goin' home because it's too darn late
In walked a blonde and, dear, she asked me to dance
I told that blonde that there wasn't a chance
I love my kids and my beautiful wife
That's the honest truth, dear, and I swear by my life
(Sparrow in the treetop,sparrow in the treetop
hough he loves his mate,
Sparrow in the treetop, sparrow in the treetop,
Scared of goin' home because it's too darn late)
There's things I am sweetheart, and things that I ain't
'cause I'm a man and a man is no saint
Won't you forgive 'cause I'm tellin' you true
I was in the tavern only thinkin' of you
Just singin'
(Sparrow in the treetop, sparrow in the treetop)
(Though he loves his mate)
(Sparrow in the treetop, sparrow in the treetop)
Scared of goin' home because it's too darn late
(Just singin'
(Sparrow in the treetop,sparrow in the treetop
Though he loves his mate, Sparrow in the treetop, sparrow in the treetop,
Scared of goin' home because it's too darn late!)
