[Verse:]
|
Here and there a loving pair will go and share
|
A Morris chair to spoon
|
Jack and Jill preferred a hill and there's a thrill
|
Beneath the silv'ry moon
|
But there's only one place
|
For a lover's embrace
|
|
[Refrain:]
|
In the shade of a sheltering tree
|
That's the place for a couple to be
|
|
You will find that they always agree
|
In the shade of a sheltering tree
|
|
All the tales Adam whispered to Eve
|
Mother Eve simply had to believe
|
|
What was hers was his
|
The reason is they happen to be
|
In the shade of a sheltering tree
|
