Michael and the Slipper Tree Lyrics

[Chorus]
Michael
Michael and the slipper tree, slipper tree, slipper tree
Brand new shoes for you and me
Michael
Michael and the slipper tree, slipper tree, slipper tree
Brand new shoes for you and me

[Verse 1]
Michael had a slipper tree and nothing would it bear
But a pair of silver slippers every year
The king and queen's daughter paid a visit to see
Michael about his slipper tree

[Chorus]
Michael
Michael and the slipper tree, slipper tree, slipper tree
Brand new shoes for you and me
Michael
Michael and the slipper tree, slipper tree, slipper tree
Brand new shoes for you and me

[Verse 2]
Soon it got around to everyone in town
That Michael had company
The king and queen's daughter would try to find
How to get those slippers from that old slipper tree
[Chorus]
Michael
Michael and the slipper tree, slipper tree, slipper tree
Brand new shoes for you and me
Michael
Michael and the slipper tree, slipper tree, slipper tree
Brand new shoes for you and me

[Chorus]
Hey, Michael
Michael and the slipper tree, slipper tree, slipper tree
Brand new shoes for you and me
Michael
Michael and the slipper tree, slipper tree, slipper tree
Brand new shoes for you and me

[Verse 3]
Michael had a slipper tree and nothing would it bear
But a pair of silver slippers every year
The king and queen's daughter paid a visit to see
Michael about his slipper tree

[Chorus]
Michael
Michael and the slipper tree, slipper tree, slipper tree
Brand new shoes for you and me
Michael
Michael and the slipper tree, slipper tree, slipper tree
Brand new shoes for you and me
Michael
Michael and the slipper tree, slipper tree, slipper tree
Brand new shoes for you and me
Michael
Michael and the slipper tree, slipper tree, slipper tree
Brand new shoes for you and me
Michael
Michael and the slipper tree
