O Christmas Tree

The following is brought to you by Procrastinators, Inc., (Holiday Subsidiary), with apologies to everyone who takes down their Christmas decorations by New Year's (also to actual poets and songwriters).

O Christmas tree, o Christmas tree,
You know we like this song.
But Christmas tree, o Christmas tree,
Why do you hang around so long?

Last month we put you up so tall,
To decorate you was a ball.
But Christmas tree, o Christmas tree
Why do you hang around so long?

We'd like to have our family room back,
With you, a lot of space we lack.
O Christmas tree, o Christmas tree,
It's really time for you to go.

We know it's dark in the storage bag,
Without your lights, our spirits will sag.
But Christmas tree, o Christmas tree,
It's really time for you to go.

We promise next year you'll be back,
Of decorations there'll be no lack.
O Christmas tree, o Christmas tree--
The Hero was joking about giving you a whack. 

O Christmas tree, o Christmas tree,
You know we like this song.
But Christmas tree, o Christmas tree,
Next year, please don't hang around so long.
