Molly Ledford & Billy Kelly - Coniferous Trees lyrics

Coniferous trees, as you might have known Reproduce by growing little seeds inside of a cone Coniferous trees grow around the world And the tallest living thing on The Earth is a coniferous tree In case you're curious, Molly [Oh!] That's a coast redwood, or a sequoia tree, It's grown out there in California USA [Hey, thanks for the information] You're welcome, you're welcome It's 379 feet tall [not bad] Yeah, it's tall Coniferous trees [coniferous trees], so some folks believe [Yeah, I've seen those people] Don't have leaves because they have needles But guess what? Their needles are actually leaves It's just a different kind of a leaf Coniferous trees grow around the world And the oldest living thing on The Earth is a coniferous tree [And what is that?] Well, a tree? It's like a big, woody plant-like thing... [No, I mean, like] Oh, the oldest thing? [Yeah] The oldest thing is a bristlecone pine tree That's grown out there in California It's over 4,800 years old [You checked out a book on California, didn't you?] Coniferous trees [coniferous trees], I just got that Nicknamed 'evergreens' [they don't eat meat, do they?] No, those are carnivorous trees [oh, OK] On account of their tendency, year round, to keep their leaves. See I told you they had leaves! [Yep] Coniferous trees grow around the world And if you ask me One of the coolest kind of trees on The Earth is tree coniferous tree {One more time!}
