I love to hear the song about the sound of wood The music that it makes is oh so good Just think of all the different kinds of sounds there are Listen to my wooden guitar The plink-a-plonk marimba and the xylophone They make a worm and woody tick-tock tone The breathing of the flute on the bim-bam-boo Listen to the toot-toot-too So let's all remember what wood used to be Remember that wood always comes from a tree When the wind blows the leaves and the branches shake What beautiful music it already makes And how about the sound of an orchestra A row of double bases plays the Cha Cha Cha The woodwinds and the drum and the tamborine The song that the piano sings Put them all together and it sounds so good It's the song about the sound of wood
