PINE TREES ROASTING IN A FOREST FIRE
Pine trees roasting in a forest fire
Wildfires jumping across the road
Any time anyplace this may happen again
Merry Christmas, to you
And fire fighters are on their way
I want it to burn and to them I’d like say
Don’t you know my Mother Earth wants to burn this way?
So why don’t you just go away
Pine trees roasting in a forest fire
Wildfires jumping across the road
Any time anyplace this may happen again
Merry Christmas, to you
And the smoke blows by my way
I don’t think air pollution is okay
If it burns my house I won’t have a place to stay
So to tree thinning don’t say “nay”
Pine trees roasting in a forest fire
Wildfires jumping across the road
Any time anyplace this may happen again
Merry Christmas, to you
Merry Christmas, to you
WE TREE HUGGERS
(parody of WE THREE KINGS)
We tree hug-gers disoriented are
Want woods left alone hear near and far
Gently creeping status quo kee-heeping
Not changing, keep them as they are
Ohhh Oh
Trees of beauty, trees of light
We don’t want to see them have the plight
Of Christmas tree cutting, shining in the night
Or fire fighters, loggers attacking, protect the snakes’ love lives
We tree hug-gers disoriented are
In the Pine Barrens we want some fire -- our star
Not that skimpy campfire-sized burns controlled they’re keeping
But burning hot, bright let it roll far
Ohhh Oh
Trees of beauty, trees of light
We don’t want to see them have the plight
Of Christmas tree cutting, shining in the night
Or fire fighters, loggers attacking, protect the snakes’ love lives
We tree hug-gers disoriented are
Don’t care if fire blocks the Garden State Parkway
We didn’t it want that road anyway
It led our wilderness experience astray
Gently creeping, flames procee-eeding
Who cares if homes are in the way?
Ohhh Oh
Trees of beauty, trees of light
We don’t want to see them have the plight
Of Christmas tree cutting, shining in the night
Or fire fighters, loggers attacking, protect the snakes’ love lives
Protect the rattlesnakes’ love lives
Pine trees roasting in a forest fire
Wildfires jumping across the road
Any time anyplace this may happen again
Merry Christmas, to you
And fire fighters are on their way
I want it to burn and to them I’d like say
Don’t you know my Mother Earth wants to burn this way?
