[Verse 1]
Take a piece of tinsel and put it on the tree
Cut a slab of melon and pretend that you still love me
Carve out a pumpkin and rely on your destiny
Get in your car and cruise the land of the brave and free

[Chorus]
But don't forget to understand exactly what you put on the tree
Don't believe the florist when he tells you that the roses are free

[Verse 2]
Take a wrinkled raisin, and do with it what you will
Push it into third if you know you're gonna climb a hill
Eat plenty of lasagna 'til you know that you've had your fill
Resist all the urges that make you wanna go out and kill

[Chorus]
But don't forget to understand exactly what you put on the tree
Don't believe the florist when he tells you that the roses are free

[Verse 3]
Throw that pumpkin at the tree
Unless you think that pumpkin holds your destiny
Cast it off into the sea
Bake that pie and eat it with me
