| At half past eight by the sycamore tree, |
| I’ll be there, wait and see! |
| 'Cause I’ve got a date by the sycamore tree |
| With someone I adore! |
| I said I’d wait by the sycamore tree, |
| Any night he was free. |
| I won’t be late 'cause goin' to be |
| Well worth waiting for! |
| He’ll say he’s glad he found me, |
| And I’ll be kind of shy! |
| He’ll put his arms around me, |
| At least if he doesn’t I shall wanna know why! |
| 'Cause I’m all teed up and I’m ready to go, |
| I don’t need mistletoe! |
| And I’m all set for a wonderful show, |
| With everything just right |
| To fall in love by the sycamore tree tonight! |
| When I was oh, so very small, |
| My mother used to give me all |
| The good advice she thought her daughter needed. |
| She used to tell me what to do, |
| And furthermore, what not to do! |
| And said that I had got to do what she did! |
| Oh, I wonder if she was right? |
| I shall see for myself tonight! |
| At half past eight by the sycamore tree, |
| I’ll be there, wait and see! |
| 'Cause I’ve got a date by the sycamore tree |
| With someone I adore! |
| Now I said I’d wait by the sycamore tree, |
| Any night he was free. |
| I won’t be late 'cause goin' to be |
| Well worth waiting for! |
| He’ll say he’s glad he found me, |
| And I’ll be kind of shy! |
| He’ll put his arms around me, |
| At least if he doesn’t I shall wanna know why! |
| 'Cause I’m all teed up and I’m ready to go, |
| I don’t need mistletoe! |
| And I’m all set for a wonderful show, |
| With everything just right; |
| Any old man moon is gonna be free, |
| To light the way for my honey and me |
| To fall in love by the sycamore tree tonight! |
