O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree
How dry are your branches?
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree
You’re full of brown patches
Your boughs were so green, at Christmastime
But now we all see, you’re well past your prime
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree
You’ve run out of last chances
So when do we take you to the pavement
For proper pickup, and landfill placement?
Say goodbye to the Christmas season of plenty
And set your tree out on January 20
O Edmonton, O Edmonton
They’re here to pick up your branches
Recycling depots take trees joyfully
Until February 3, they do it for free
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree
I’m sick of needles dropping from your branches
