O Christmas tree!
You really came from Germany
An ancient German tradition
Was based in a superstition

O Christmas tree!
O Christmas tree!
Brought here under King George III
His wife is German - thanks to her
The palace got its Christmas fir

O Christmas tree!
O Christmas tree!
Then only know by royalty
Twas not 'til Queen Victoria
That you became so popular
She gave Christmas another lift
When under the tree she put gifts

O Christmas tree!
O Christmas tree!
Now I know your true history
