Lyrics
[Intro]
[Guitar strumming with a playful beat]
Well, gather 'round folks, and I’ll tell you true,
'Bout my buddy Shizzy and the fight he’d rue.
[Verse 1]
Shizzy was walking, one fine sunny day,
Spied a big oak tree, blocking his way.
With a glare in his eye, and a beer in his hand,
He squared up his shoulders, made a foolish stand.
[Chorus]
Oh Shizzy, oh Shizzy, didn't you see?
You can’t win a fight with a hundred-year tree.
You swung and you missed and you hit your own knee,
Shizzy, oh Shizzy, just let that tree be.
[Verse 2]
He threw a left hook, the tree didn’t flinch,
He threw a right cross, didn’t move an inch.
The tree stood majestic, firm in its roots,
While Shizzy’s attacks were just bearing no fruits.
[Chorus]
Oh Shizzy, oh Shizzy, didn’t you know?
That tree’s been standing, long 'fore you'd show.
You fought and you cursed, but had nothing to show,
Shizzy, oh Shizzy, it's time to let go.
[Bridge]
Now Shizzy’s a legend, in our little town,
The man who fought nature, and nature threw down.
We laugh as we reminisce over beers,
Shizzy just chuckles, nursing his fears.
[Verse 3]
Finally, he sat down, leaned against its bark,
Understood the tree was just a landmark.
In the shade of its leaves, he found peace at last,
His fight with the tree, now a tale of the past.
[Chorus]
Oh Shizzy, oh Shizzy, you learned it the hard way,
Trees don't pick fights, but they sure can sway.
Next time you’re mad, just take a deep breath,
Shizzy, oh Shizzy, save yourself the mess.
[Outro]
So here’s to Shizzy, a man of great fame,
Taught us all, nature’s not a game.
We sing and we laugh, 'bout the day in the breeze,
When Shizzy got schooled by a mighty old tree.
[Outro]
[Guitar strumming fades out with a chuckle]
