[SIZE=14pt]We went to buy a Christmas tree[/SIZE]
and it was freezing raining sleet on me
I was frozen and so was Dan
why did we believe this lousy weather man?
We always take time to pick and choose
Fuss fuss fuss we do get amused.
Stand them up this way and that
Can't decide on the thin one or the fat.
We look at so many, usually take our time
but not today, there's no sunshine
We're shaking and shiverring and frozen to the bone
Just grab a tree quick I want to get home!
"I'm not looking through ten or a hundred and fifteen"
said my teeth chattering freezing young teen
Get any tree and please let's go
Before we get stuck 50 miles from home and it snows
And so this year that's what we did
We rushed our tree purchase quite a bit
We didn't check it out very well at all
and when we got it home it wasn't very tall
And the needles were falling off all over the place
as we rushed it from the truck so fast like a race
the Frasier Fur just didn't have a nice fresh scent
and how much this year did we spend?
So we lugged it in and set it up
and oh brother this tree wasn't fresh cut
it had big gaps inbetween the branches a lot
and bare spots on all sides, yup, that's what we got
It won't stand straight up no matter what we do
it's leaning over to the side because the trunk is crooked too
So Dan said not to worry and it would be ok
like a Charlie Brown tree he giggled as he ran away
Then he came back with boxes of ornaments
to adorn the tree with so many problem-ments
The lights went up and were wrapped round and round
and every last ornament we had was found
On went the tinsel and up went garland too
and so we decorated our tree for this yule
and then the moment of truth when we turned on the lights
even the star on top worked and it was a pretty sight
No one was disappointed and no one was sad
no one said our tree looked too bad
although it's not perfect and does have a tilt
it's our little Christmas tree that wasn't fake built
We sat back and watched it and it really glowed
I wonder where it came from and how long it did grow
But we are not kidding ourselves though we said
we knew when we bought it, this tree was already dead.
