Sung to the tune of "I got you, babe"

I HIT YOU, TREE
written by Sonny Bono
performed by Sonny Bono & Michael Kennedy

MIKE: They say we can't ski down that hill,
Before we try, we should really write a will,

SONNY: Well, I know that all that's true,
`Cause that tree looked small, but baby, it really grew,

SONNY: Tree.
BOTH: I hit you, tree.
I hit you, tree.

MIKE: They say football on skis is dumb,
I didn't buy it, but now I'm very numb.
SONNY: I guess that's so, the wind' s in our hair,
You did the sitter, but baby I did Cher.

SONNY: Tree.
BOTH: I hit you, tree.
I hit you, tree.

SONNY: I got flowers on my grave.
It was stupid, but we looked brave.
MIKE: I'm a drunk, and you're a clown.
I didn't see the tree, but I sure found the ground.

MIKE: Don't let them say that we can't ski,
'Cause we did fine, 'til we hit that goddamn tree,
SONNY: I put my little hand on the branch,
Thought I'd break my fall, but wound up buying the ranch.

SONNY: Tree.
BOTH: I hit you, tree.
I hit you, tree.

SONNY: I had Cher to hold my hand.
MIKE:  She left you for a real man.
SONNY: I had Newt to think with me.
MIKE: I had Ted to drink with me.

I went and kissed that tree goodnight.
Split my skull from left to right.
I hit the tree, I can't let go.
My blood is dripping on the snow.

BOTH: I hit you, tree.
I hit you, tree.
I hit you, tree.
I hit you, tree.
I hit you, tree.
