Put The Tree Up! - The December Boys

It’s the first cold night of November

And I know what you’re gonna say “You’re not putting up that

tree yet”

Well, I say, why wait another day?

I’ve got boxes

in the hallway

I’ve got lights tangled in a heap

I’ve been waiting all year long For this moment to begin

You can shake your head You can tell me no But I’ve

got Christmas records And I’m ready to go!

Put the tree up!

Put the tree up!

I don’t care what the calendar says

Put the tree up!

Put the tree up!

Get those decorations out of the shed!

We’ve got lights to

hang

We’ve got songs to sing

We’ve got tinsel everywhere So don’t just stand there staring at me—

Put the tree up!

Dad

says, “Wait until December”

Mom says, “Maybe after dinner”

My little brother found the stockings And now he’s acting like a

winner

The cat has climbed into the boxes

The dog just stole a candy cane

And somebody broke an ornament Before we even knew its name

You can shake your head You can tell me no

But I’ve got Christmas records And I’m ready to go!

Put the tree up!

Put the tree up!

I don’t care what the calendar says

Put the tree up!

Put the tree up!

Get those decorations out of the shed!

We’ve got lights to hang

We’ve got songs to sing

We’ve got tinsel

everywhere So don’t just stand there staring at me— Put the tree

up!

(hey!) (ho!) (let's go!)

Maybe it’s early

Maybe that’s true But I’ve been waiting All year just to do

this with you So grab that ladder

I’ll grab the lights We’re gonna make this living room Look crazy

tonight!

PUT IT UP! PUT IT UP!

PUT

IT

UP!

Put the tree up!

Put the tree up!

Let the whole neighborhood know!

Put the tree up!

Put the tree up!

Turn the Christmas records up loud!

We’ve got lights to hang We’ve got songs to sing We’ve got

presents on the way

And if you ask me when Christmas starts— IT STARTS TODAY!

PUT THE TREE UP! (hahaha)
