Oscar

Love Like Birds

Compositor: Elke De Mey

Have you met Oscar
He lives in a tree
He eats branches
With his strong teeth
And every Christmas
Gets down from his tree

He sings carols
With my family and me
We give him presents
A box full of cookies
But after supper
He gets up in his tree

We always visit
Three knocks, then we see
That he's never there
Oh where could he be
Where could he be

My sweet Oscar, where could he be
My sweet Oscar, where could he be
Have you met Oscar
He lives in a tree
He eats branches
With his strong teeth

And every Christmas
Gets down from his tree
He sings carols
With my family and me
We give him presents
A box full of cookies

But after supper
He gets up in his tree
We always visit
Three knocks, then we see
That he's never there
Oh where could he be

My sweet Oscar, where could he be
My sweet Oscar, where could he be
My sweet Oscar, where could you be
My sweet Oscar, marry me
Marry me
Mary, marry me
