Lyrics: Basia. An Olive Tree.

Hug an olive tree
I take it things are looking good
Still could be better
There's always something to improve, oh, yes we should

One day, while in the south of France
My good friend said, "I should hug an olive tree"
She claimed that dreams come true when you do, but
Can a plant be in any way that beneficial to me?

Though I'm a famous sceptic, feet on the ground
This time I wanted this to be true
Now picture this, silly Polish girl in Nice
Embracing trees, wishing for you

Hug an olive tree
I take it, things are looking good
Still could be better
There's always something to improve

And so you should hug an olive tree
I take it things are looking good
Still could be better
There's always something to improve, oh, yes we should

So when you're in the south of France
And you've got dreams
Look for some magic gardens with olive trees

Though I'm a famous sceptic, feet on the ground
This time I wanted this to be true
Some olive branch must have heard my desperate heart
'Cause I wear the crown and so do you

Olive crown, I wear the olive crown
Olive crown, I wear the olive crown

Though I'm a famous sceptic, feet on the ground
This time I wanted this to be true
Some olive branch must have heard my desperate heart
'Cause I wear the crown and so do you

Hug an olive tree
I take it, things are looking good
Still could be better
There's always something to improve

And so you should hug an olive tree
I take it, things are looking good
Still could be better
There's always something to improve, oh, yes we should

Ya, ya, ya, an olive tree
Ya, ya, ya, an olive tree

Olive tree
