The Happiest Christmas Tree
With a hey and a hee and a ho ho
With a hee and a ho and a hah hah
With a ho and a hah and a hee hee
I’m the happiest Christmas tree
Ho ho ho, hee hee hee
Someone came and they found me
And took me home with them
Oh, I’m the happiest Christmas tree
Ho ho ho, hee hee hee
Look how pretty they dressed me
Oh, lucky, lucky me
I got shiny bells that jingle
And tiny little lights that tingle
Whenever anyone passes by
I blink my lights and I wink my eye
Oh, I’m the happiest Christmas tree
Christmas day, wait and see
I’ll be laughing happily
With a ho ho ho hee hee
With a hey and a hee and a ho ho
With a hee and a ho and a hah hah
With a ho and a hah and a hey hey
Oh, I’m the happiest Christmas tree
Ho ho ho, hee hee hee
Someone came and they found me
And took me home with them
Oh, I’m the happiest Christmas tree
Ho ho ho, hee hee hee
Look how pretty they dressed me
Oh, lucky, lucky me
I got shiny bells that jingle
And tiny little lights that tingle
Whenever anyone passes by
I blink my lights and I wink my eye
Oh, I’m the happiest Christmas tree
Christmas day, wait and see
I’ll be laughing happily
With a ho ho ho hee hee
With a hey and a hee and a ho ho
With a hee and a ho and a hah hah
With a hey and a hee and a ho ho
