Sunrise paints the orchard gold,

The trees are sprinkled bright red, bold.

A basket swings from every arm,

The cherries shine with country charm.

We’re climbing up cherry trees today,

Let us get the ladder out — hurray!

The sky is bright, the breeze is sweet,

With sticky hands and dancing feet — hurray!

Barefoot kids play the cherry race,

Grown-ups, all find a climbing place.

Branches sway, but we reach out still,

Aiming high — it’s summer’s thrill!

We’re climbing up cherry trees today,

Let us get the ladder out — hurray!

The sky is bright, the breeze is sweet,

With sticky hands and dancing feet — hurray!

Birds are singing from above,

Pecking cherries they also love.

Buzz of bees and leaves that gleam,

The orchard hums like in a dream.

We’re climbing up cherry trees today,

Let us get the ladder out — hurray!

The sky is bright, the breeze is sweet,

With sticky hands and dancing feet — hurray!

We taste and laugh, we pick and cheer,

Some for the pie, some disappear!

We fill our bowl or fill our tummy,

With those big, dark red, juicy, yummy!

We’re climbing up cherry trees today,

Let us get the ladder out — hurray!

The sky is bright, the breeze is sweet,

With sticky hands and dancing feet — hurray!

Some work hard, and some just play,

But all feel peace and joy today.

Cherries are nutritious and fun,

I’m bringing some to my loved one.

We climbed up cherry trees today,

harvested the best ones hurray!

Cherries are the healthiest delight.

They even make us sleep well tonight.
