Here's my interpretation of the Indigo Girls' version of Rand
Bishop's "Wild, Wild Party In The Loquat Tree." For your
reference, this song can be found on Put_On_Your_Green_Shoes,
(Sony Kids Music, 1993). For the a cappella section near the
end, I have written out the lyrics for both Amy's and Emily's
parts. If you spot any errors please let me know. Thanks and
enjoy.

Havin' a feast beneath a clear blue sky

Animals comin' from miles around

To bounce the branch, shake the loquat down

Every little loquat holds the seed

For a brand new baby loquat tree

One o' these seeds may find its way

To a place in the sun, and then someday
