The Fairy on The Christmas Tree - 1936 - Dame Gracie Fields

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 07 Nov 2001

Autumn days are over,
past, and very soon
Mother turns the lights up
in the afternoon,
children talk of Christmas,
brother wonders what
Santa Claus will put
into the stocking on his cot.

Ev'ry little girl would like to be,
the fairy on the Christmas Tree,
up above the party dressed in white,
shining in the candle light,
ev'ry little boy has lots of fun,
with his trumpet and his gun,
ev'ry little girl, you understand,
is really Queen of Fairyland.
Black gollywogs, wee wooly dogs,
big beautiful bears.
Most any boy, loves any toy.
No little girl cares.
There the little secret she must keep,
that she can fly when she's asleep,
ev'ry little girl would like to be
the fairy on the Christmas Tree.
