Five Little Christmas Trees


Five little Christmas trees

Standing all alone.

Their hearts were very sad

‘Cause they hadn’t found a home.

Then chop went the axe

And down fell the tree

And off they went with a happy family.

I took a lick of my peppermint stick

And was it ever yummy!

It used to be on my Christmas tree

But now it’s in my tummy!
