Sparrow in the treetop, sparrow in the treetop Though he loves his mate
Sparrow in the treetop, sparrow in the treetop Scared of going home because it's too darn late
Don't look at me, sweetheart, with scorn in your eyes
I've been out all night, I'm gonna tell you no lies
Stopped in one place, I heard him singing a song
Like a lonely sparrow
I started singing along
Just singing in the tavern
All night sitting in the tavern
In the tavern singing songs
In Wachterblom
Mm-hmm
And dear, she asked me to dance
Mm-hmm
I told that blonde
No, no
No, no
That there wasn't a chance
That there wasn't a chance
I love my kids
And my beautiful wife
Is that the honest truth, dear?
Oh, I swear by my life
I kept singing in the...
Sparrow in the treetop
Sparrow in the treetop
All night singing in the tavern
Sparrow in the treetop
Scared of going home because it's too darn late
. . .

There's things I ask for

I'm sweetheart and things that I ain't
Cause you're a man
And a man is no saint
Won't you forgive
Cause I'm telling you true
I was in that tavern
Only thinking of you
Only thinking of you
Sparrow in the treetop
Sparrow in the treetop
All night sitting in the tavern
Sparrow in the treetop
Sparrow in the treetop
Scared of going home because it's too darn late
Scared of going home because it's too darn late
