The Lyrics
Forest tree fell, a yew,
Perhaps a pine.
I didn't hear it drop, nor you,
But it's lyin'
On the dirt, dyin'.
Simple: was once standing;
It's now on the ground.
No one heard it landing,
Yet some folks ask, "Did it make a sound?"
Forest tree fell--now, crew,
It's chainsaw time.
A pine?
A cashew?
A gashed yew?
Was it mute?
And cares who?
Such casu-istry's found
'mongst those who share
Such concerns. Not me.
Now hear the sound. . .
Of clear cuts!"
"What if tree fell onto
A sylvan mime?"
Perhaps a pine.
I didn't hear it drop, nor you,
But it's lyin'
On the dirt, dyin'.
Simple: was once standing;
It's now on the ground.
No one heard it landing,
Yet some folks ask, "Did it make a sound?"
Forest tree fell--now, crew,
It's chainsaw time.
A pine?
A cashew?
A gashed yew?
Was it mute?
And cares who?
Such casu-istry's found
'mongst those who share
Such concerns. Not me.
Now hear the sound. . .
Of clear cuts!"
"What if tree fell onto
A sylvan mime?"

If a tree falls in the forest, and there's no one there to hear it, and John Barry writes a parody about it anyway, do we still have to give it a five? Yes, we do. Anyone who doesn't can make like a tree and leave.

Thanks, Michael, Alvin.
