Yellow squash, up high in a blue spruce tree,
Yellow squash, you sit all alone like me.
Did your weedy friend leave your tree again?
That is very sad, makes me feel so bad,
Comes another weed, soon it's up the tree,
You're more lucky than me.
This was my squash garden, next to the big blue spruce tree. Only once did I ever have squashes decide to use the tree for a garden stake. They went up about six feet, but when they got too heavy, they fell down, miraculously undamaged and delicious!
Posted for Hootin' Anni's Thursday Theme Song meme.
It's a heck of a lot of fun. Come on over, take a look, take a listen, and maybe give it a try. The youtube link I posted starts with a song very much like the one I've written here, then continues with other songs very familiar to people from "my" day. The songs and the group remained popular for many, many years in many, many countries, as you can tell by the age they are in the video, and the fact that the video was made at a concert on the other side of the world. Go listen.

Photo and song go so well together...It's Nice !
Cute post! I am not so familiar with the song but I like it....Fantastic post dear Kay!
Looks like fun. Wish I had time for Thursday Theme Song. Love the idea of squash growing up a tree. Smart squash, lucky you.
I love it. I used to sing that song, "Yellow bird, up high in banana tree..." Oops! Was it papaya tree? Yikes! I forgot. I love your little yellow squash. I'm glad it was delicious! :-)
Funny picture...handy for the squash, though! I love squash. Do you plant them every year?
The Brothers Four have the most beautiful voices, I really enjoyed hearing them again.
Hmm, I never thought about letting a tree act as a garden stake for squash. Might have to try that!
Well, I never....I never even thought of having squash grow up a tree to support the vine. Imaginative...well done.
I always remembered the song as Yellow Bird tho. This was all new to me.
Fabulous photo...it's truly amazing.
Here's My Song
SING A SONG OF YELLOW SQUASH
Sing a song of yellow squash,
Clinging to the tree.
Sing a song of yellow squash,
Hanging there for me.
Sing a song of yellow squash,
Tempting and demure;
Sing a song of yellow squash—
Creamy skin and pure.

Kaye what a great song for the very cold time of year...makes me think of the beach, sand and surf and even might make me feel a tad warmer,
Beautiful vocals too.

I love your lyrics to the tune of Yellow Bird.
I checked out the video, and the Brothers Four's is just so fantastic!
I've never seen a squash do that! Crazy thing. You'd think that when it fell it would turn into a smash instead of a squash!
How funny it must have been to see squash growing up your tree.
Very creative idea, and your picture is magnificent!
