[00:14]Oh, the Ivy and the Holly.
[00:16]You’d know if you have seen them.
[00:18]Of all the trees that grow in the wood,
[00:20]there’s no good points between them.
[00:24]Oh, the Ivy has a berry,
[00:27]as black as any sin.
[00:29]It’s not much use in jams,
[00:31]or pies and horrible in gin.
[00:34]Oh, the Ivy and the Holly.
[00:37]You’d know if you have seen them.
[00:39]Of all the trees that grow in the wood,
[00:42]there’s no good points between them.
[00:45]Oh, the Holly has a stalk,
[00:48]as green as any veg.
[00:50]If you chop it up in salad,
[00:52]it will set your teeth on edge.
[00:54]Oh, the Ivy and the Holly.
[00:57]You’d know if you have seen them.
[00:59]Of all the trees that grow in the wood,
[01:02]there’s no good points between them.
[01:10]Oh, the Ivy has a poison,
[01:12]that makes you itch like hell.
[01:15]If you boil it up in stews,
[01:17]it will make you sick as well.
[01:19]Oh, the Ivy and the Holly.
[01:22]You’d know if you have seen them.
[01:24]Of all the trees that grow in the wood,
[01:27]there’s no good points between them.
[01:30]Oh, the Holly has a root,
[01:33]beneath the earth it rots,
[01:35]and if you suck it slowly,
[01:37]it will bring you out in spots.
[01:40]Oh, the Ivy and the Holly.
[01:42]You’d know if you have seen them.
[01:45]Of all the trees that grow in the wood,
[01:47]there’s no good points between them.
[02:15]Oh, the Ivy has a leaf,
[02:17]sometimes it’s variegated.
[02:20]Sometimes it not that goes to show,
[02:22]how things get complicated.
[02:25]Oh, the Ivy and the Holly.
[02:27]You’d know if you have seen them.
[02:30]Of all the trees that grow in the wood,
[02:32]there’s no good points between them.
[02:36]Oh, the Holly has a flower.
[02:38]It’s hardly worth a mention;
[02:41]and I don’t see why
[02:44]these two trees should get all this attention
[02:46]Oh, the Ivy and the Holly.
[02:48]You’d know if you have seen them.
[02:50]Of all the trees that grow in the wood,
[02:53]there’s no good points between them.
[03:02]Oh, the Ivy and the Holly.
[03:05]When they are both full grown,
[03:08]the Ivy needs the Holly for it can’t stand up alone
[03:12]the Ivy needs the Holly for it can’t stand up alone.
