We Three Trees
We Three Trees was a song that Mrs. Norton improvised for the school production of "The Wizard of Oz" in the first book, Diary of a Wimpy Kid. She created the song because she wanted every kid in the play to have singing roles.
Lyrics
Only parts of the song are heard.
Book version
"We three trees from yonder glen do spy a maiden fair and sweet
Whilst we are rooted to our spots, she doth move on lighter feet..."
Movie version
"We three trees from yonder glen do spy a fair and sweet maiden
Whilst we are rooted to our spots, in silver slippers she just dropped
Down the winding yellow road, does she know to where it goes?
With her dog so small and true, we hope she fares well, yes, we do.
We three trees from yonder glen wish her joy through journey's end."
