Down where the trees are tall - tune: Down by the river side

1. Gotta get to those tropic lands
Down where the trees are tall, down where the trees are tall.
Gotta get to those tropic lands
Down where the trees are tall.

Chorus:
Don’t want no clearances no more, don’t want no soya fields no more,
Down where the trees are tall, tall, tall.
Don’t want no clearances no more, don’t want no palm oil farms no more,
Down where the trees are tall

2. ‘Cos they’re pumping out fresh new air,
Out from those trees so tall, out from those trees so tall.
Gonna breathe me some fresh new air
Out from those trees so tall.

3. Gonna dance in the rain and mist
Down where the trees are tall, down where the trees are tall.
Let the forest folk long exist
Down where the trees are tall.
