Let's Put The Tree Up Early This Year

Let's Put The Tree Up Early This Year

My neighbor left his manger out all year long

Man, that's so wrong

In mid-July

When the pools are splashing

And Christmas is out of fashion

He held strong, he held strong

Put some flowers around it

To let you know that he meant it

He held strong, he held strong

He wasn't wrong

The leaves are falling one by one

The pumpkin's still rotting on our front lawn

I know you think it's too soon but my dear

I say let's put the tree up early this year

My neighbor's fence is falling down

And he's got pole full of wires leaning up on his house

And there's a patch of roof that's needing attention

And oh, did I mention that he leaves his manger up all year long?

He held strong, he held strong

Put some flowers around it

To let you know that he meant it

He held strong, he held strong

He wasn't wrong

The leaves are falling one by one

The pumpkin's still rotting on our front lawn

I know you think it's too soon but my dear

I say let's put the tree up early this year

Let's put the tree up early this year

The neighbor won't care, he's already there

We've all been reeling

And could use that good feeling

I know I could
