What did I hear in the breeze? It was a sound that made me freeze. When I heard it, my pulse flew. A sneaky voice said, Hooooo I came out walking to clear my head. Yet, someone’s talking From somewhere ahead. But, where are you? And why do you ask? Hooooo Who’s playing jokes in the trees? Who’s hiding there in the leaves? Who keeps calling out to me, And why exactly can’t I see? Who’s got nothing else to do, But sit there asking who? A naughty child, or two or three, Please stop the pranks on me! Hooooo Just stop it now. Hooooo It’s unnerving somehow. I’m so tired, of your little games. Hooooo Act your age, I’m taking names! Who’s playing jokes in the trees? Who’s hiding there in the leaves? Who keeps calling out to me, and why exactly can’t I see? Who’s got nothing else to do, but sit there asking who? A naughty child, or two or three, please stop pranking me! I turn around, there’s no one there. Hooooo Just rustling branches and evening air. I check the path, I check the ground. Then up above, there comes that sound. Hooooo Your little prank is getting rough. This joke has gone on long enough! Don’t ask again, it’s so unkind, I feel I’m going to lose my mind. Hooooo I cannot handle what you do. What are you trying to put me through? Who’s playing jokes in the trees? Who’s hiding there in the leaves? Who keeps calling out to me? Why won’t they, please, let me be? Who’s got nothing else to do, But sit there asking who? A naughty child, or two or three, Please stop pranking me! Wait. Two wide eyes On an old oak bough. A little face Is staring now. Hooooo Who was playing jokes in the trees? It was you! You! Who was hiding there in the leaves? It was you! You! You kept calling out to me! Now, Shoo! Shoo! Shoo! Have you got nothing else to do? But sit there asking who? Like a naughty child, or two or three, I thought you were pranking me!
