The Trees: 
Ooo-ooh, hey!
Ooo-ooh, hey!
Can’t you read?! 
Can’t you see?! 
This is private property!
Aren’t the signs plain and clear?! 
No one is allowed in here!
But, since you’re here, you should know, 
We will never let you go!
You can cry, you can shout, 
But you can’t get out!
This is the Forest of No Return!
This is the Forest of No Return!
Those who stumble in, 
Those who fumble in,
Never can get out!
The Children: 
We have come, seeking sheep.
The Trees: 
Now, alas, you're in too deep!
The Children: 
We don't mean any harm.
The Trees: 
You have caused us great alarm!
The Children: 
Then we'll be off, on our way.
The Trees: 
Sorry, but you'll have to stay!
The Children: 
We will cry, we will shout.
The Trees: 
Still you can't get out!
This is the Forest of No Return!
This is the Forest of No Return!
You have stumbled in! 
You have fumbled in!
Now you can’t get out!!

Can't you read, can't you see
This is private property
Aren't the signs plain and clear
No one is allowed in here
But, since you're here, you should know
We will never let you go
You can cry, you can shout
But you can't get out
This is the Forest of No Return
This is the Forest of No Return
Those who stumble in
Those who fumble in
Never can get out
We have come, seeking sheep
Now, alas, you're in too deep
We don't mean any harm
You have caused us great alarm
Then we'll be off, on our way
Sorry, but you have to stay
We will cry, we will shout
Still, you can't get out
This is the Forest of No Return
This is the Forest of No Return
You have stumbled in
You have fumbled in
Now you can't get out

==Trivia==
The music of the song is based on the Spider's Den underscore in the Spider Forest scene near the end of act 1 in the 1903 operetta.
Avant-garde jazz icon Sun Ra covered the song, which posthumously appeared on his 2024 Disney-themed compilation album Pink Elephants on Parade (Modern Harmonic/Sundazed Music).
