Lyrics
Here and there a loving pair
Will go and share a Morris chair to spoon
Jack and Jill preferred a hill
And there’s a thrill beneath the silv’ry moon
But there’s only one place
For a lover’s embrace
Refrain
In the shade of a sheltering tree
That’s the place for a couple to be
You will find that they always agree
In the shade of a sheltering tree
All the tales Adam whispered to Eve
Mother Eve simply had to believe
What was hers was his
The reason is they happen to be
In the shade of a sheltering tree
Performance
