Song to sing to something yellow, high up in a tree

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!

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.
