Because, it symbolizes something of great value to me And I am going to have it put in my living room - do you mind? Oh, what does it symbolize to you - Morris? Baby, just relax a moment, and I will show you (Not right now) [Verse 1] All in a line from the worst to the best When it comes to cutting a rug I'll put you to the test Ain't nobody better Is what they're telling me "Say, Morris, what's that dance you're doing?" Well I'm doing the Oak Tree haha [Chorus] (Oak Tree!) I'll put you to the test (Oak Tree!) When it comes to dancing I'm the best (Oak Tree!) Ready to debut (Oak Tree!) Spread your branches, you know what to do [Verse 2] Dancing like a tree See my branches never rest It may sound kind of silly, girl But I do it with finesse You see, I never do the boogaloo Or the chicken that ain't me But you can bet your bottom dollar, girl I can do the Oak Tree, look out [Chorus] (Oak Tree!) I'll put you to the test (Oak Tree!) When it comes to dancing I'm the best (Oak Tree!) Ready to debut (Oak Tree!)

Spread your branches, you know what to do [Verse 3] Working overtime It's hard to be the best Taking care of business, girl And I will not settle for less Tell me your name You are looking kind of right Slip into your red dress, girl I am going to take you out tonight We are going to do the [Chorus] (Oak Tree!) I'll put you to the test (Oak Tree!) When it comes to dancing I'm the best (Oak Tree!) Ready to debut (Oak Tree!)
