lyrics

Main feature, to erect
Our massive Christmas tree
Front window, so proudly
For the whole world to see
Take pride in, decorating
I will not be upstaged
One problem, and it shows now
Put me in a Christmas rage

Won’t stand, won’t stand no
It won’t stand my Christmas tree
Won’t stand, won’t stand no
It won’t stand my Christmas tree

I send for a trellis
But they are hard to get
This time it's not so easy
The store’s not open yet
Vacation, frustration
Options are running dry
I won’t stop, crusading
Until I rectify

Won’t stand, won’t stand no
It won’t stand my Christmas tree
Won’t stand, won’t stand no
It won’t stand my Christmas tree

Got caught in, the storeroom
Of the hardware supply
Smashed window, I climbed through
Police they ask me why
I produce, a picture
Of my flacid tree, they scoff
“You’ll spend the next night in
Lock up ‘til you cool off”

Red hand, red-handed,
Red-handed they caught me
Red hand, red handed,
Red-handed they caught me

Remand, I’m remanded
Remanded in custody
Remand, I’m remanded
Remanded in custody

(all because it)
Won’t stand, won’t stand no
It won’t stand my Christmas tree
Won’t stand, won’t stand no
It won’t stand my Christmas tree

(Please don’t fall down, Christmas tree)
