Before cultivation of Christmas trees
They were down on their knees in the wood
Inspecting the trunk for good axing potentioal
And thats how they knew if they could
Thats how they knew if they could
It's almost almost Christmas

Break a heart or two now
And I think you should
I think you should
It's almost almost Christmas
And you might, maybe you could
Break a heart or two now
And I think you should
