Here’s my interpretation of the Indigo Girls’ version of Rand
Bishop’s «Wild, Wild Party In The Loquat Tree.» For your
reference, this song can be found on Put_On_Your_Green_Shoes,
(Sony Kids Music, 1993). For the a cappella section near the
end, I have written out the lyrics for both Amy’s and Emily’s
parts. If you spot any errors please let me know. Thanks and
enjoy.

Fuzzies and furries run, walk, or fly
Dm(4) C(2)
Havin’ a feast beneath a clear blue sky

Animals comin’ from miles around
Dm(4) C(2)
To bounce the branch, shake the loquat down

The squirrel and the sparrow and the mouse and the bee

Peckin’ at ’em, pickin’ at ’em, hidin’ ’em away

Every little loquat holds the seed

For a brand new baby loquat tree

One o’ these seeds may find its way

To a place in the sun, and then someday
