When I wake up in my tree
wake up in my bedroom tree
a little girl and a parakeet
are singing to me
My, oh my, what a peaceable kingdom
why would I ever wanna leave
leave a peaceable kingdom
And when I wake up on the floor
on the carpeted forest floor
all of the squirrels in their conifers
are saying to me
My, oh my, even if you had a set of wings
why would you ever wanna fly
from a peaceable kingdom
oh my, oh my, what a peaceable kingdom
why would I ever wanna leave
leave a peaceable kingdom
It's quiet at night
when the monkeys retire
so we lay down our faces
by the fireplace
and sing softly
what a peaceable kingdom
