“Ode to Treehouse”, lyrics by Rick Kimberley and Mellissa Zillwood

“We Fall Down”, original lyrics by Chris Tomlin

We sit down

Watch Lazytown

Every day on Treehouse

And then we’ll slouch

On the Big Comfy Couch

It’s all here on Treehouse

 

And we see Rolie Polie Olie

We watch Rolie Polie Olie

We love Rolie Polie Olie

He’s the man

 

We don’t know

Where Dora will go

Perhaps to see Diego

Emily Yeung

Is sure to have fun

After her, it’s Elmo

 

Then we see Rolie Polie Olie

We watch Rolie Polie Olie

We love Rolie Polie Olie

Ad nauseum

 

Mum and Dad

Are going mad

Just from watching Treehouse

They tear their hair

Watching Little Bear

They need out of the house

 

But they see Rolie Polie Olie

They watch Rolie Polie Olie

They hate Rolie Polie Olie

Need a date

 

They don’t know

Any grown-up shows

‘Cause for them, it’s Treehouse

No NBC,

Grey’s Anatomy,

Law & Order or House

 

No, they see Rolie Polie Olie

They watch Rolie Polie Olie

They hate Rolie Polie Olie

Like the plague

 

Dad’s such a stitch

He’s got a twitch

Comes from watching Treehouse

The doctors said,

“Just go to bed,

Stay away from Treehouse.”

 

But he dreams Rolie Polie Olie

And he screams Rolie Polie Olie

He hears Rolie Polie Olie

In his brain

 

Mum’s much worse

It’s worked in reverse

Now she’s hooked on Treehouse

She sings the songs

All day long

It’s “The Best of Treehouse”

 

And she sings Rolie Polie Olie

She hums Rolie Polie Olie

She loves Rolie Polie Olie

She’s flipped out

 

We sat down

To watch Lazytown

But there’s no more Treehouse

Dad got upset,

Threw the TV set

Into my old treehouse

 

Now we cry Rolie Polie Olie

We mourn Rolie Polie Olie

We miss Rolie Polie Olie

Where’s the Wii?
