He was just a tiny tree, kind of scrawny, kind of thin
In that great big house, didn’t seem to fit in
And Christmas Eve, He heard the mistress of that big old house say
That little tree is ugly get a new one right away

Nobody wants me and tomorrow’s Christmas day
Nobody needs me for the Christmas holiday
Nobody loves me and I have no place to stay
Nobody wants me
I’m gonna run away

The old wind whistled and it howled
As he trudged thru the snow
With ornaments and icicles a glow
Past factories and houses and the old sawmill
When suddenly he saw a little cabin on the hill

Nobody wants me and tomorrow’s Christmas day
Nobody needs me for the Christmas holiday
Nobody loves me and I have no place to stay
Nobody wants me
I’m gonna run away

Thru the window he could see little Tommy’s curly head
And he heard Tommy praying before he got in bed
We don’t expect presents God but maybe you could see
Someway of getting us just a little Christmas tree


The little gift-laden tree crept inside late that night
And next morning he was greeted with squeals of delight
It’s a miracle they shouted and he knew it was true
For he had found a home and a loving family too

Somebody wants me and today is Christmas day
Somebody needs me, what a happy holiday
Somebody loves me and I have a place to stay
Somebody wants me
And I’ll never run away
