Music

Liam also now really enjoys listening to music. One of his CDs has a song that goes like this:

There was a tree (there was a tree)
All in the wood (all in the wood)
The prettiest tree (the prettiest tree)
That you ever did see (that you ever did see)
The tree in a hole and the hole in the ground
And the green grass grows all around, all around
The green grass grows all around.
The song lists out a root in the hole, and a tree on the root and a branch on the tree...

You get the idea.

So Lester figured out it's the same song as an Irish drinking song.
It goes something like:
With the hole in the bog and the bog down in the Valley Oh
And in that hole there was a tree, a rare tree, a Ratlan tree ...
the likeness is that the verses are all parts of the tree, bird, etc.

The words are slightly different, but the tune is the same. :-)
