Morris Day – The Oak Tree lyrics
From the worst to the best
When it comes to cutting a rug
I'll put you to the test
Ain't nobody better
Is what they're telling me
Said, Morris
What's that dance you're doing
Well, I'm doing the oak tree, ha ha
[Chorus:]
Oak tree, I'll put you to the test
Oak tree, when it comes to dancing
I'm the best
Oak tree, ready to debut
Oak tree, spread your branches
You know what to do
I can do the oak tree
[Chorus:]
Let me shake my leaves
(Hey, you guys, look)
(It's Morris Day and his new dance)
(Oh, yeah, what's he call it)
(The Oak Tree)
[Chorus:]
Watch the dance
[Chorus:]
You're working overtime
That's how to feel the best
Taking care of business, girl
And I won't settle for less
Tell me your name
You're looking kinda right
Slip into your red dress, girl
I wanna take you out tonight
We're gonna do the
[Chorus:]
Ah, okay
The perfect in position, baby
Come dancing like a tree
It doesn't really matter, girl
You know you can't mess with me
Shake your leaves
Shake your leaves
(Oak tree, oak tree)
(Oak tree, oak tree)
(Oak tree, oak tree)
I'll put you to the test
(Oak tree, oak tree)
You know that I'm the best
(Oak tree, oak tree)
Everybody's cool
(Oak tree, oak tree)
What I'm telling you
Oh, let's organize?
I want everybody to sing
(Oak tree, oak tree)
I'll put you to the test
(Oak tree, oak tree)
You know that I'm the best
(Oak tree, oak tree)
Everybody's cool
(Oak tree, oak tree)
What I'm telling you
(Oak tree, oak tree)
(Oak tree, oak tree)...
When it comes to cutting a rug
I'll put you to the test
Ain't nobody better
Is what they're telling me
Said, Morris
What's that dance you're doing
Well, I'm doing the oak tree, ha ha
[Chorus:]
Oak tree, I'll put you to the test
Oak tree, when it comes to dancing
I'm the best

Oak tree, spread your branches
You know what to do
I can do the oak tree
