Oh Christmas tree, oh Christmas tree
How lovely are thy branches?
Oh Christmas tree, oh Christmas tree
No, really: how lovely are they?
Are your boughs green in wintertime?
Will they hold up my ornaments?
Oh Tannenbaum, oh Christmas tree
When will you ever get here?
Oh Christmas tree, oh Christmas tree
Are you lost in neverland?
Oh Christmas tree, oh Christmas tree
Did someone else take you home?

I’ve been waiting so patiently
After the year we’ve had, we need you so
Oh Tannenbaum, oh Christmas tree
I’m about ready to give up on you
Oh Christmas tree, oh Christmas tree
I’ve got the perfect spot for you
Oh Christmas tree, oh Christmas tree
The stage is set; all I need is you.
