Here's my interpretation of the Indigo Girls' version of Rand
Bishop's "Wild, Wild Party In The Loquat Tree."  For your
reference, this song can be found on Put_On_Your_Green_Shoes,
(Sony Kids Music, 1993).  For the a cappella section near the
end, I have written out the lyrics for both Amy's and Emily's
parts.  If you spot any errors please let me know.  Thanks and
enjoy.

Capo II
 
INTRO:  G  Dm(4)  G  Dm(4)  G     G  Dm(4)  G  Dm(4)  G
 
G 
Out in the back by the grape stake fence
 
                              Dm(4)   C(2)
Is a place where nature makes so much sense
 
G
All the creatures livin' in harmony
 
                               Dm(4)  C(2)
It's a wild, wild party in the loquat tree
 
 
G
Fuzzies and furries run, walk, or fly
 
                         Dm(4)      C(2)
Havin' a feast beneath a clear blue sky
 
G
Animals comin' from miles around
 
                                Dm(4)  C(2)
To bounce the branch, shake the loquat down
 
 
    G                                              Dm(4)
The squirrel and the sparrow and the mouse and the bee
 
    G                     Dm(4)  C(2)  G
All havin' a party in the lo  -  quat  tree
 
G                                    Dm(4)
Eatin' all the yellow fruit they can see
 
       G                       Dm(4)  C(2)  G
It's a wild, wild party in the lo  -  quat tree
 
 
C                               F           C
Peckin' at 'em, pickin' at 'em, hidin' 'em away
 
G                   Dm(4) C(2) G
Savin' 'em up for a rai - ny   day
 
   C                         F   C
No matter how big, no matter how small
 
        G                         Dm(4)  C(2) G
There's more than enough, there's plenty for  all
 
 
    G                                              Dm(4)
The squirrel and the sparrow and the mouse and the bee

It's a wild, wild party in the lo  -  quat tree
 
 
G               Dm(4)
Chatter, chirp, squeak, bzzz

Chatter, chirp, squeak, bzzz
 
G               Dm(4)
Chatter, chirp, squeak, bzzz
 
G                    Dm(4) G
Chatter, chirp, squeak, bzzz
 
 
G
Every little loquat holds the seed
 
                     Dm(4)  C(2)
For a brand new baby loquat tree
 
G 
One o' these seeds may find its way
 
                           Dm(4)    C(2)
To a place in the sun, and then someday
 
 
 
    G                                              Dm(4)
The squirrel and the sparrow and the mouse and the bee

All havin' a party in the lo  -  quat  tree

Eatin' all the yellow fruit they can see

It's a wild, wild party in the lo  -  quat tree
