@TheSwimmerSmurf What's funny about that? The point is, he wanted to see the Lord and he did in his own way and the Lord appreciated it. That's why He went to Zacceus' house and not all the others who were waiting along the way. Brings back memories of Sunday School. I hope they still sing it to this day.
@19111ellyc You have it all wrong, it's about a midget in a tree who is trying to be superior by being above all the black slaves. Lincoln would of disapproved of this. He was the greatest president. The only reason why Jesus goes to the midgets house is because he wants to teach him a lesson. That lesson is that the midget is a bad person. Foolish and stupid for being in a tree. What fool climbs a tree to be superior? A midget fool.
@TheSwimmerSmurf WHATTTT???? Now Lincoln is mightier than the LORD?? And who said the road was lined with black slaves? Methinks thou hast Black History Month on the brain...IF you got one! The man was a MIDGET!!!! Meaning he was 'LITTLE'? He couldn't possibly get to see the Saviour had he stayed down below and everybody else was towering above him. That's why he climbed into the tree, NOT to impress the Saviour but just to witness seeing Him and Jesus rewarded him for that.
@19111ellyc I don't think you are listening to the true meaning of this song. Zacchaeus had a very inflated opinion about himself. That is why he was in the tree. If he wanted to see the Jesus, he would of been like everybody else. On the ground and not above in a tree trying to be superior, that is why the Jesus told Zacchaeus to get out of there as you are an egotistical fool. The black slaves in the song represent that we are all part of this world as an equal. The midget was fool
@TheSwimmerSmurf No, that's YOUR interpretation of this song. WHERE does it say he had an inflated opinion about himself? The point is, he climbed 'THE TREE' so he could see Jesus which he wouldn't have been able to do down on the ground! Jesus told Zaccheus 'you come down, cause I'm coming to your house tonight' WHAT BLACK SLAVES? WHERE ARE THEY MENTIONED IN THE SONG? KIM, this is a children's song and not meant to be complicated which is exactly what you're making it.
@19111ellyc He clearly had an inflated opinion about himself, if he didn't he wouldn't of been in that tree above and feeling superior above all the black slaves! Why can't you understand this?! Are you a fool? You have to look past the lines of text to see the slaves. You just can't comprehend that the Jesus was trying to show the midget he is a fool and has a inflated ego! Lincoln made a quote saying Zacchaeus was a inflated midget man who should of apologized for his actions!
@TheSwimmerSmurf You know what? You keep on believeing the drivvel you're spouting here. And I will keep believeing what I've been taught. And how I see the song. Go argue with one who actually SEES the slaves you're so fascinated with. Lincoln's birthday is coming up. Go celebrate that as well. Ironically it's in Black History month. Aren't you proud?
Thank you!!! I learned this in Sunday School over 30 years ago and I struggled to remember the lyrics. I now teach Sunday School and this was the refresher that I needed!! Thank and God Bless You!!
i remember singing this in church about a month ago. we listened to the tune and sung it twice through. nearly everybody got the words wrong soon after that
This song is pretty funny. It's about a midget in a tree who is very happy.

The lyrics in the video don't correspond to the lyrics the children are singing, and many of them are spelt incorrectly.
