The Angel and the Christmas Tree

The story of how the angel came to be on the top of the Christmas tree.


Now, Christmas is a time to be so happy,

But at Santa's the elves were going on strike,

Mrs. Claus had burned the cookies, there was no Christmas tree,

And that's something Santa really doesn't like.


And all of Santa's reindeer had been drinking,
They got hammered really early in the day.
They decided on a whim, to go out for a spin
But they crashed into a pole, and wrecked the sleigh…

"I've got to fly around the world" yelled Santa,
"Bringing gifts to every little girl and boy
What am I to do? The kids will all be blue,
I don't know if each one will get a toy…

"Oh, nothing's going right today," cried Santa.
The toys aren't even in the bloomin' sack.
And I sent that little angel out to find a Christmas tree,
I wonder if she's ever coming back?"

He was getting really angry now, was Santa,
When the little angel burst in, full of glee.
He just glared at her, with her scrawny Douglas fir,
As she said "Santa, where should I stick your tree?"
