[Verse 1]
Hands up if life is getting stressful
And shout if you are saddened by the news (Whoo)
I need some tips to cope
Some data or some anecdotes
'Cause right now nothing's workin' for my blues

Sometimes I deal by playing music
And sometimes I relax by reading books
Sometimes I go downtown
Climb a tree and don't come down
And throw a bunch of pinecones at people

A crowd has formed around my tree
Just out of reach, and the police have
Blocked the street on every side
But no one can climb it and
I think its 'cause they know I have
A pinecone here for everyone who tries

[Chorus]
I yell: I'm gonna live to be a hundred
I'm gonna see them cure disease
Then I'm gonna watch them
Go to war over the royalties so
If you need me, I'll be in the tree
If you need me, I'll be in the tree
