Lyrics
(English folk song, Lyrics by Carolyn Sherwin Bailey)
Chop down the Christmas tree,
Chop we now the Christmas tree,
Chop down the Christmas tree,
Merry Christmas Day.
Bring home the Christmas tree,
Bring we home the Christmas tree,
Bring home the Christmas tree,
Merry Christmas Day.
Trim, trim the Christmas tree,
Trim we now the Christmas tree,
Trim, trim the Christmas tree,
Merry Christmas Day.
Dance ‘round the Christmas tree,
Dance around the Christmas tree,
Dance ‘round the Christmas tree,
Merry Christmas Day.
