Industry of Christmas

INDUSTRY OF CHRISTMAS

Cut down the pine! That one’s for me.
Lovely needles — so fresh and free.
A  s p r i t z   of   h o l i d a y   esprit. 
O Christmas tree! O Christmas tree!

Harness him with silver bell rows -
Dear Rudolph, master of blind-snow.
In dark  W i n t e r,  oh how it glows.
A red-red nose!     A red-red nose!

While we repose, he rides the chutes,
Working, down the chimney he scoots.
S a n t a   in his   h o l i d a y   s u i t
And fur-lined boots! And fur-lined boots!

A  m e r r y,  smiling,  k i n d l y  bloke,
Loves with great fervor the poor folk.
Smells of cookies, milk and nog yolk.
And chimney smoke! And chimney smoke!

Elves polish the sleigh and explore.
Dear old  S a n t a,  as their mentor,
Jumps in and teaches them to soar.
With gifts galore! With gifts galore!
