Story behind the song
Song based on the children's book, "Shawn, the Hopping Christmas Tree" by Joe Cyr
Lyrics
Shawn, the hopping tree.
He’s got little red boots, you see
You can sing this song and
Hop, hop, hop, the whole day long.
That’s Shawn, the hopping tree
He’s got little red boots, you see
You can sing this song and
Hop, hop, hop, the whole day long.
Hop, hop, hop;
He’s an awesome thing to see
Hop, hop, hop;
That’s Shawn, the hopping Christmas tree.
(Sing Refrain)
Not stuck to the ground
He can hop and spring and bound
He’s an awesome thing to see
That’s Shawn, the hopping Christmas tree.
He wears a Scottish hat
And a cloak of pure white snow
An evergreen aristocrat
There’s no place that he can’t go.
Hop, hop, hop,
He’s an awesome thing to see
Hop, hop, hop,
That’s Shawn, the hopping Christmas tree.
(Sing Refrain)
Oh, yeah
You sing this song and
Hop, hop, hop, the whole day long.
Oh, yeah,
You can sing this song and
Hop, hop, hop, the whole day long.
Hop, hop, hop
He’s an awesome thing to see
Hop, hop, hop
That’s Shawn, the hopping Christmas tree.
(Sing Refrain)
Oh, yeah,
You can sing this song and
Hop, hop, hop, the whole day long.
Shawn, the hopping tree
The hopping Christmas tree
Shawn, the hopping Christmas tree
He’s a hopping Christmas tree.
[Additional Stanzas]
There’re hopping trees ev’rywhere
Both far away and near
Different caps and chic chapeaus
Alpine hats and sombreros.
Now there’s a lesson to make clear;
Use farmed trees at Christmas time.
Help the forest grow each year,
The moral of this happy rhyme.
