lyrics

Can we get a bigger tree this year?

Where we live is not too big,
Our Christmas tree is like a twig,
It probably only cost a pound,
The fairy makes the top bend down,
Not like the Norwegians give.

*Can we have a bigger tree this year?
and bring the house some christmas cheer,
I want lights like Disney land,
This looks like Christmas has been banned,
Can we have a big tree here?

But the one we’ve got is just great,
and not long to decorate,
It doesn’t get in the way,
There’s lots of room for folk to stay ,
The one we’ve got is just great.

*Can we have a bigger tree this year?
Like the ones we saw outside IKEA,
I want lights like Disney land,
This looks like Christmas has been banned,
Can we have a big tree here?

But Its fashionable to have a twig,
With some fancy arty lighting rig,
I know that it may be old,
but i wouldn’t want one too bold,
I’d hate it if i got rid.

*Can we have a bigger tree this year?
and spend a little less on beer
I want lights like Disney land,
This looks like Christmas has been banned,
Can we have a big tree here?

INSTRUMENTAL

*Can it go up Christmas eve at least?
And stay up after the Queens speech,
Christmas is more than a day,
not just a public holiday,
Can it stay up after the Queens speech?*

*Can we have a bigger tree this year?
Like the ones we saw outside IKEA,
i want lights like Disney land,
This looks like Christmas has been banned,
Can we have a big tree here?

When you live in close proximity,
Theres not much room for a big tree,
But its not the size of the tree,
its whos around it, can’t you see?
When you live in close proximity.

*Can we have a bigger tree this year?
I’ve seen one thats not to dear,
I want lights like Disney land,
This looks like Christmas has been banned,
Can we have a big tree here?

Put presents there for you and me,
*and now we can’t see the tree*,
but its not chopped or in the loft,
i keep it in a little box,
we must think environmentally.

Can we have a bigger tree this year?
Like the ones we saw outside IKEA,
I want lights like Disney land,
This looks like Christmas has been banned,
Can we have a big tree here?

Can we have a big tree here?

Can we have a big tree here?

can I have a treehouse too?
