[verse] Saturday morning, Advent three, up too early — need more sleep. Plan is simple, loud and clear: we need a TREE for Christmas cheer! Next town over, boots are tight, rain is cold but hearts are light. Drip drop splash — what joy, what fun, muddy shoes and off we run! --- [CHORUS – OHRWURM 😈] TREE! TREE! CHRISTMAS TREE! CUT! CUT! CARRY ME! SLIP! SLAP! STICKY SHOE! TREE! TREE! WHOA-HOO-HOO! (nochmal!) TREE! TREE! CHRISTMAS TREE! HEY! HO! HO-HO-HO! --- [verse] Nordmann firs? No luck today! All sold out — gone, gone, gone away. But spruce and pine are standing straight, row by row — we hesitate. Half a mile through swamp and slime, thinking: “Man, this takes some time!” Just bald sticks, tall and thin — then BAM! That TREE is lying in! --- [CHORUS] TREE! TREE! CHRISTMAS TREE! CUT! CUT! CARRY ME! SLIP! SLAP! STICKY SHOE! TREE! TREE! WHOA-HOO-HOO! --- [verse] Some weird guy chopped it down, looked it over, made a frown: “Second branch? Oh no no no!” Dropped the TREE and ran off — go! Left it crying by the wood, forest edge — misunderstood. Saved just in time, what luck, what grace — else fireplace would be its place! --- [CHORUS] TREE! TREE! CHRISTMAS TREE! CUT! CUT! CARRY ME! SLIP! SLAP! STICKY SHOE! TREE! TREE! WHOA-HOO-HOO! --- [bridge] Arms are sore, the TREE is fat, rabbit poop on boots — love that! Mud for miles, we march along, singing this annoying song! --- [kids’ choir – frech & laut] “Every year again, same silly spree, everyone’s got a Christmas TREE — and yours looks… weird, tee-hee!” --- [FINAL CHORUS – alle brüllen] TREE! TREE! CHRISTMAS TREE! OURS IS CROOKED — LET IT BE! SHORT! FAT! LITTLE BENT! BEST TREE EVER — ONE HUNDRED PERCENT! HEY! HO! HO-HO-HO! 🎄
