i m the last leaf on the tree the autumn took the rest but they won t take me i m the last leaf on the tree when the autumn wind blows they re already gone they flutter to the ground cause they cant hang on there s nothing in the world that i ain t seen i greet all the new ones that are coming in green i m the last leaf on the tree the autumn took the rest but they won t take me i m the last leaf on the tree they say i got staying power here on the tree but i ve been here since eisenhower and i ve outlived even he i m the last leaf on the tree the autumn took the rest but they won t take me i m the last leaf on the tree i fight off the snow i fight off the hail nothing makes me go i m like some vestigial tail i ll be here through eternity if you want to know how long if they cut down this tree i ll show up in a song i m the last leaf on the tree the autumn took the rest but they won t take me i m the last leaf on the tree i m the last leaf on the tree i m the last leaf on the tree
