"The Little Christmas Tree" is a song by Mickey Rooney.
Little Christmas tree
No one to buy you, give yourself to me
You're worth your weight in precious gold, you see
My little Christmas tree
Promise you will be
Nobody else's little Christmas tree
I'll make you sparkle, just you wait and see
My little Christmas tree
I'll put some tinsel in your hair
And you'll find that there's a strange new change
That you have never seen
I'll bring my boy a toy, he'll jump for joy
To see his bright new queen
With me you will go far
I'll show Saint Nick the tree you really are
And there'll be peace on earth
When Daddy lights your star
My little Christmas tree
With me you will go far
I'll show Saint Nick the tree you really are
And there'll be peace on Earth
When Daddy lights your star
My little Christmas tree
You're big enough for three
My little Christmas tree

All I Want for Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth is a novelty Christmas song written in 1944 by Donald Yetter Gardner (1913-2004) while teaching music at public schools in Smithtown, New York. He asked his second grade class what they wanted for Christmas, and noticed that almost all of the students had at least one front tooth missing as they answered in a lisp. Gardner wrote the song in 30 minutes. In a 1995 interview, Gardner said, I was amazed at the way that silly little song was picked up by the whole country. The song was published in 1948 after an employee of Witmark music company heard Gardner sing it at a music teachers conference.
The song was originally recorded by Spike Jones & His City Slickers on December 6, 1947, with lead vocal by George Rock. That version reached the top of the pop charts in 1948, and again in 1949. The song has also been recorded by numerous other singers and performers, including Ray Stevens,[4] George Strait, Danny Kaye with The Andrews Sisters, The Platters, Dread Zeppelin, The Kelly Family, Nat King Cole (reportedly Gardners favorite version), The Chipmunks, the Hampton String Quartet, The Three Stooges, and Count von Count of Sesame Street.
In the versions by Spike, The Chipmunks (Theodore on lead vocals), and Ray Stevens, the song ends with the performer shouting the words Happy New Year!!!
Drag performer and singer RuPaul parodied the song on his Christmas album Ho, Ho, Ho. In RuPauls version, which is an up-tempo electronica/disco style, he lists the various plastic surgery procedures he wants for Christmas, so he can, as he sings, Look real purdy!.
Country music parodist Cledus T. Judd parodied the song on his 2002 Christmas album Cledus Navidad. Titled All I Want for Christmas Is Two Gold Front Teef, Judds parody is performed in rap.
Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse
Suddenly I heard a strange noise down below
So, in my flannel pajamas I went tippy-toe
I could see old Saint Nick from the spot where I stood
So I slid down the banister just as fast as I could
All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth
My two front teeth, see, my two front teeth?
Gee, if I could only have my two front teeth
Then I could wish you Merry Chritmas
It seems so long since I could say
Sister Susie sitting on a thistle.
Every time I try to peak
Huh, all I do is whistle
All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth
My two front teeth see my two front teeth?
Gee, if I could only have my two front teeth
Then I could wish you Merry Christmas
Good ole Santa Clause and all his reindeer
Huh, they used to bring me lots of toys and candy
Gee but, but now when I go out and call
Dancer, Prancer, Donner and Blitzen
None of em can understand me
All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth
My two front teeth, see, my two front teeth?
All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth
So I can wish you Merry Christmas
Chrismas, Chrismas
Aww, for goodness sakes
