L Leaves – Leaves Song Lyrics
Three cool leaves were singing "hey, hey"
and grooving about on the trees one day.
The wind came howling through the town
and one cool leaf came a-tumbling down.
Two cool leaves were singing "hey, hey"
and grooving about on the trees one day.
The wind came howling through the town
and one cool leaf came a-tumbling down.
One cool leaf was singing "hey, hey"
and grooving about on the trees one day.
The wind came howling through the town and
that one cool leaf came a-tumbling down.
What became of the leaves?
I cannot say but perhaps they're still singing
and groovin in leaf heaven today!
