Don’t Knock Over the Christmas Tree 
by Julian Harvey

On Christmas Eve when you can't sleep, 
Slowly down dark stairs you creep,
To peek in the living room.
Prepare to meet your doom.
Don't Knock Over the Christmas Tree. 
Your daddy chose it and it ain't free. 
You'll trip and if you fell,
You’ll fell the tree as well.
You will trash the place,
Be in deep disgrace,
In court surely lose,
And make national news.
Don't Knock Over the Christmas Tree.

Dad when you sneak downstairs to eat 
Food you left for Santa's treat,
And look for the liverwurst
But Santa got there first,
Don't Knock Over the Christmas Tree, 
It's you who chose it and it ain't free. 
You'll cause a major stir
When yelling out "timBER"!
With that fir aground,
Chaos all around,
You will face, of course,
Quite a messy divorce.
Don't Knock Over the Christmas Tree.

When Santa visits your abode
Lots of presents to unload,
He's careful as he can be.
You can be sure that he
Won't knock over the Christmas tree, 
He knows who chose it and it ain’t free. 
And when he drives his sleigh
You’ll always hear him say, 
“When the time of year 
Calls for Christmas cheer, 
You’ll enjoy the Yule
If you follow my rule:
Don't Knock Over the Christmas Tree."

He won't knock over the Christmas tree, 
He knows who chose it and it ain’t free. 
And when he drives his sleigh
You’ll always hear him say, 
“When the time of year 
Calls for Christmas cheer, 
You’ll enjoy the Yule
If you follow my rule:
Don't Knock Over the Christmas Tree,
Don't Knock Over the Christmas Tree!"
