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 going 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, oh, 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 going 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
And old man moon is a-gonna be free
To light the way for my honey and me
To fall in love by the sycamore tree tonight!
