Kimya Dawson & Antsy Pants - Tree Hugger (Juno Soundtrack)

Tree Hugger performed by Kimya Dawson & Antsy Pants (4K/HQ audio)


The flower said, "I wish I was a tree,"
The tree said, "I wish I could be
A different kind of tree,
The cat wished that it was a bee,
The turtle wished that it could fly
Really high into the sky,
Over rooftops and then dive
Deep into the sea.

And in the sea there is a fish,
A fish that has a secret wish,
A wish to be a big cactus
With a pink flower on it.
And in the sea there is a fish,
A fish that has a secret wish,
A wish to be a big cactus
With a pink flower on it.

And the flower
Would be its offering
Of love to the desert.
And the desert,
So dry and lonely,
That the creatures all
Appreciate the effort.

Et le chacalot a dit:
"Je voudrais être un yéti
Pour voler dans la nuit
Et m'envoler loin d'ici"
Mais le yéti a dit:
"Je veux être un monstre marin
Pour pouvoir sauter dans la mer
De tous les requins"


And the rattlesnake said,
"I wish I had hands so
I could hug you like a man."
And then the cactus said,
"Don't you understand,
My skin is covered with sharp spikes
That'll stab you like a thousand knives.
A hug would be nice,
But hug my flower with your eyes."

The flower said, "I wish I was a tree,"
The tree said, "I wish I could be
A different kind of tree,
The cat wished that it was a bee,
The turtle wished that it could fly
Really high into the sky,
Over rooftops and then dive
Deep into the sea.

And in the sea there is a fish,
A fish that has a secret wish,
A wish to be a big cactus
With a pink flower on it.
And in the sea there is a fish,
A fish that has a secret wish,
A wish to be a big cactus
With a pink flower on it.

And the flower
Would be its offering
Of love to the desert.
And the desert,
So dry and lonely,
That the creatures all
Appreciate the effort.

I love how you hear the kids sometimes mumbling the lyrics
Really adds that touch of innocent that brings you back to your elementary school days

[ana_.m]

my favorite part:
"And the rattlesnake said,
"I wish I had hands so
I could hug you like a man."
And then the cactus said,
"Don't you understand,
My skin is covered with sharp spikes
That'll stab you like a thousand knives.
A hug would be nice,
But hug my flower with your eyes."

"the flower said "i wish i was a tree""
"the tree said "i wish i was a different kind of tree""

what an ungrateful tree

[BrotherBread]

when I was 5 my mum made me listen to this song. I used to love this song.I had no problems and I just happily danced to it. Then I went through a lot of shit (parents divorce fights etc) . When I found this song I cried. This song represents my past innocence and I love it. I am now a rather happy 13 years old and I really want to have those good days come back to me.... But that is life and I have to move on. Thank you for reading A random teenagers story. Have a beautiful day

[meganluvluv]

The random french: And chacalot said:
"I want to be a yeti
To fly in the night
And to fly away from here "
But the yeti said:
"I want to be a sea monster
To jump into the sea
Of all sharks "

[BallerinaTwinkleToes]

I love the way she laughs in the middle ;)

I thought this was some crazy fever dream from when I was younger.
But no it's a real song and I still remember all the words

The flower said, "I wish I was a tree, "
The tree said, "I wish I could be

Deep into the sea.
And in the sea there is a fish,
A fish that has a secret wish,
A wish to be a big cactus

Feeling nostalgic tonight here in Cape Town, so I decided to listen to this (my favourite track) & remember a life without any responsibilities xoxo Juno

[laurenlinney]

This could be a really good campfire song!!

[greenerdaysah]

My mom and dad loved this movie and I remember my dad singing this to me when I was little. He said it was our song, I usually listen to it when I miss my parents or when I'm just upset.
