Under the Spreading Chestnut Tree

Under the spreading chestnut tree
There we sit both you and me
Oh how happy we will be
Under the spreading chestnut tree.

Okay, everyone, let’s sing along together.
Ready, set, go!

Under the spreading chestnut tree
There we sit both you and me
Oh how happy we will be
Under the spreading chestnut tree.

Okay, everyone, let’s sing faster.
Ready, go!

Under the spreading chestnut tree
There we sit both you and me
Oh how happy we will be
Under the spreading chestnut tree.
