Carolyn Thomas - Pickin Up Sticks Lyrics

(Pick up sticks)
Spring is here
It's the time of year
Get your work gloves on
Welcome everyone for a
Stick Party on the lawn
We're pickin up, pickin up sticks
Pickin up sticks
Pickin up more sticks
Racing back and forth
It's a wheelbarrow sport
No the hours don't fly
And our pile's so high
We're pickin up, pickin up sticks
Pickin up sticks
Pickin up more sticks
Welcome everyone to our
Stick Party on the lawn
If your yard has trees
And a windy breeze
You'll have days like these
Where you're pickin up, pickin up sticks
Pickin up sticks
Pickin up more sticks
(More sticks)
Trees look down and seem to laugh and call
"Winds still gonna blow!"
"Don't you know? Don't you know?"
We hear them calling
Or are they laughing?
"Branches still gonna fall!"
"Don't you know? See them fall!"
We hear them laughing
Or are they calling?
(Laughing! We think they're laughing)
Round the yard again
Seems to never end
If you think you're through
Then the joke's on you
We're pickin up, pickin up sticks
(More sticks)
Pickin up sticks
Pickin up more sticks
Welcome anyone to our
(Anyone!)
Stick Party on the lawn
(Really! Anyone!)
We worked all day
"Branches still falling"
Now the fire's ablaze
(Fire!)
(Branches still falling!)
Everyone's betting who gathered the most
The time is here for a marshmallow roast
(Marshmallows!)
(Hey, does anyone have a stick for my marshmallow?)
Pickin up, pickin up sticks
More sticks
