June, wake up, June
The tree's on fire, June, oh noLove is a Christmas tree
But don't think any old tree is safe
Some have a long expire
Turn your house into a funeral pyreAnd I watered that tree
Till the branches rose up higher
And it drank, drank, drank
But it kept on getting drierNow it burns burns burns
This tree's on fire
This tree's on fire
June, call 9 1 1, June, ohThe 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 tooThe cat walked in
Set my Christmas tree on fire
He climbed, climbed, climbed
Hit some bulbs and stripped the wiresThat's when I learned, learned, learned
This tree's on fire
This tree's on fire, damn catsI go into my Christmas tree of fire
And I huffed and huffed and spit
But the flames would not expireBoy, it burns, burns, burns
This tree's on fire
This tree's on fireBlow, June, blow
Oh, keep blowing, June
