June, wake up, June The tree's on fire, June, oh no Love is a Christmas tree But don't think any old tree is safe Some have a long expire Turn your house into a funeral pyre And I watered that tree Till the branches rose up higher And it drank, drank, drank But it kept on getting drier Now it burns burns burns This tree's on fire This tree's on fire June, call 9 1 1, June, oh The heat from the smokin' pine Melted my copy of 'Walk The Line' And I tried to save 'A Boy Named Sue' Dang it cooked him too The cat walked in Set my Christmas tree on fire He climbed, climbed, climbed Hit some bulbs and stripped the wires That's when I learned, learned, learned This tree's on fire This tree's on fire, damn cats I go into my Christmas tree of fire And I huffed and huffed and spit But the flames would not expire Boy, it burns, burns, burns This tree's on fire This tree's on fire Blow, June, blow Oh, keep blowing, June
