Scrappy Little Christmas Tree Songtext
von Switchfoot

When I was just a kid
I had no money at all
I didn′t have the extra quid
To spend for decking the halls
So, the only little pine
For my family and me
Was a scrappy little Christmas tree

Then I got a little older
And I got me some dough
So, I went down to buy a tree
But it was covered with snow
I couldn't tell until it melted
There on Christmas Eve
It was a scrappy little Christmas tree

It′s getting late at the Christmas tree lot
And all the trees worth the gettin' were already got
There's a runt in the corner sitting all alone
Hey momma, maybe we could give him a home?


So, I finally got a tree
A little taller than me
I ain′t hatin′ decoratin'
But you wouldn′t believe
I was dreaming
Bout simple the way it used to be
With a scrappy little Christmas tree

There ain't no correlation with
The size of the gift
And the happiness you′re feeling with
The ones that you're with
When you′re sitting, reminiscing
Kissing happy beneath
Any scrappy little Christmas tree

It's getting late at the Christmas tree lot
And all the trees worth the gettin' were already got
There′s a runt in the corner sitting all alone
Hey momma, maybe we could give him a home?

So, I finally got a tree
A little taller than me
I ain′t hatin' decoratin′
But you wouldn't believe
I was dreaming
Bout simple the way it used to be
With you and me and that
3-foot-tall crappy Christmas tree
