The Ivy and the Holly

Chris Sugden

[Chorus]
Oh, the ivy and the holly
You know if you have seen 'em
Of all the trees that grow in the wood
There's no good points between 'em

[Verse 1]
Oh, the ivy has a berry
As black as any sin
It's not much use in jams or pies
And horrible in gin

[Chorus]
Oh, the ivy and the holly
You'd know if you have seen 'em
Of all the trees that grow in the wood
There's no good points between 'em

[Verse 2]
Oh, the holly has a stalk
As green as any veg
If you chop it up in salad
It will set your teeth on edge

[Chorus]
Oh, the ivy and the holly
You'd know if you have seen 'em
Of all the trees that grow in the wood
There's no good points between 'em

[Verse 3]
Oh, the ivy has a poison
That makes you itch likе hell
If you boil it up in stews
It will make you sick as wеll

[Chorus]
Oh, the ivy and the holly
You'd know if you have seen 'em
Of all the trees that grow in the wood
There's no good points between 'em

[Verse 4]
Oh, the holly has a root
Beneath the earth it rots
And if you suck it slowly
It will bring you out in spots

[Chorus]
Oh, the ivy and the holly
You'd know if you have seen 'em
Of all the trees that grow in the wood
There's no good points between 'em

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 5]
Oh, the ivy has a leaf
Sometimes that's variegated
Sometimes it's not, that goes to show
How things get complicated

[Chorus]
Oh, the ivy and the holly
You'd know if you have seen 'em
Of all the trees that grow in the wood
There's no good points between 'em

[Verse 6]
Oh, the holly has a flower
That's hardly worth a mention
And I don't see why these two trees
Should get all this attention

[Chorus]
Oh, the ivy and the holly
You'd know if you have seen 'em
Of all the trees that grow in the wood
There's no good points between 'em

[Verse 7]
Oh, the ivy and the holly
When they are both full grown
The ivy needs the holly
For it can't stand up alone
The ivy needs the holly
For it can't stand up alone
