Verse I

With leaves like wings in two-tone gloss
A stately, noble presense
You wouldn't think to look at her
She's under a death sentence
They want to cut her down you see
How can they be so heartless
Put in her place a parking lot
All in the name of progress


Chorus

That Ginko tree grows tall and strong
She's such a wond'rous sight to see
Been standin' there, who knows how long
Oh please don't cut that Ginko tree

(instrumental verse)

(repeat chorus)


Verse II

If parking lot they need to build
Why can't they build around her
One less parking spot won't hurt
Just leave her as they found her
She'll shade the cars in summertime
Beneath her lovely bower
When autumn brings the changing leaves
She'll form a golden tower

(repeat chorus)
