O Christmas Tree, O Garbage Can...

O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree!
How we hardly knew yee long!
O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree,
How we hardly knew ye long!


You grew tall in the summertime,
Then you were cut down in thy prime.
O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree,
How we hardly knew ye long!


O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree,
Much pleasure you had brought us!
O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree,
Much pleasure you had brought us!


You had decorations and light,
Which, after some work, looked just right,
O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree,
'tis a shame about your plight!


O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree,
It's time for you to go now!
O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree,
It's time for you to go now!


Each bough doth cut well with my saw,
'cos you must fit the trash can's maw.
O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree,
There's little bits left of ye!
