Up in the Trouble Tree
Drinking with Leela's ex
Up in the Trouble Tree
Fighting with Mexicans

Never been to New York
Got a brother in Galveston
Up in the Trouble Tree
Been there more than once

I'm shaking like a leaf
He looks like a very bad fruit
He's rotten through with grief
Falling out of the Trouble Tree

Up in the Trouble Tree
Talking to the banker's wife
Up in the Trouble Tree
Go to the Mexican wearing a knife

Never been to Hong Kong
Didn't make it on down to France
Been to the Trouble Tree
Ain't got enough fingers on my hands

He's out on a limb
Keeps a shotgun in his truck
You'd better stay away from him
Up in the Trouble Tree

Went to Dodge, had a fight
Got locked up overnight
Came back, went to see
Who's sitting up in the Trouble Tree
