Rocks and Trees

This is a big show for us, we wanted to make it even bigger by getting like a great Canadian guest star
Yeah, yes, and we wrote out a part in this next song, yeah, for a great Canadian guest star, mm-hm
Uh, unfortunately, we don't have a great Canadian guest star, no, they all
We asked everybody, and they all turned us down, yeah
But there's one person, and there are only three to begin with, oh yeah, it didn't take long, yeah
Yeah, it's not like we were left hanging, yeah, exactly, exactly, yeah it's yeah, yeah, we knew
There's only three listings in the Yellow Pages under Canadian celebrities, so, that's right, yeah, yeah
It's right under beachcombers, really? That's right, yeah

But there's, there's one person, of course, who
When all others have turned you down, there's one person who'll always stand by you
And that's your mom
So, my mom's in the audience tonight, so we're gonna ask
We're gonna ask my mom to be the great Canadian celebrity for this next song
Right over there, come on up, Mom, come on up, oh no, come on, yeah, Mrs. Strong
Come on, aw, come on, I've got everything all set up for you, yes
Got a part all written up for you, aw, look at her
Yeah, yeah, sit up there, okay, or up there, sure, yeah

My country's bigger than most, and if asked, I boast
'Cause I'm really proud, so I shout it loud
Though our numbers are few, we will welcome you
Although we don't have history, gold medal winning teams
Heroes or prisoners, world famous volcanoes
Still what we've got's glorious

'Cause we've got rocks and trees, and trees and rocks
And rocks and trees, and trees and rocks
And rocks and trees, and trees and rocks
And rocks and trees, and trees and rocks
And water

Alright, everyone!

We've got rocks and trees and trees and rocks
And rocks and trees and trees and rocks, don't forget rocks
And rocks, and trees, and trees and trees and rocks
And rocks and trees and trees and rocks and
Water

Wow, yeah, we knew Edmonton would love improv, yeah
Symphony improv, it's crazy
Alright, now it's obvious that everyone's in a singing mood here, yeah!
'Cause that's what we do, yeah, that's what we do at the Symphony, yeah, we do singing
So what we're gonna do is we're gonna divide the audience up into sections
This side of the audience over, you'll be rocks, let's hear it
Rocks!
This side over will be trees, let's hear it
Trees!
And the third part will be water, and you know who that is

Ready
We've got rocks, rocks, and trees, trees, come on now, and trees, trees, and rocks, rocks
And rocks, rocks, and trees, trees, and trees, trees, you're almost there, and rocks, rocks
And rocks, rocks, and trees, trees, and trees, trees, and rocks, rocks
Water, water

Pretty good, yeah, pretty good, it was very good
But it's time to ramp up the enthusiasm, yeah, is that possible?
Ramp up the intensity, yes
We will add the third dimension, we will do the action of the associated object

Trevor, what does a rock do? Nothing, Mike
What does it look like as it's doing that? It looks like this
Stirring representation
Chris, what does a tree do? Also nothing
What does it look like as it's doing that? Like this
What if the wind is from the northwest?
Like this
And water? Go crazy! Ready!

We've got rocks, rocks, and trees, trees, come on, do it, and trees, trees, c'mon, and rocks, rocks
And rocks, rocks, and trees, trees, and trees, trees, and rocks, rocks
And rocks, rocks, and trees, trees, and trees, trees, and rocks, rocks
And water

In Canada, Canada, Canada, Canada, Canada, Canada
Canada, Canada, Canada, Canada, Canada, Canada, Canada, Canada
Right on, right on, Trevor's mom, Trevor's mom, give it up
