If you go down to the woods today,
You're sure of a big mishap.
If you go down to the woods today,
You'd better wear a safety hat.
For every tree that ever there was
Will blow over today for certain because
Today's the day the wind is gusting at gale force.

Felling time for elderly trees;
The gusts of wind are having a lovely time today.
See the trees topple unawares,
Trying to clout dog walkers in the way.
See branches crack and swirl about.
They'd love to knock you out,
They never take any care.
At six o'clock the flowergirl and her dog
Will stagger home to bed
Because they're tired out dodging falling trees.
