I actually like that song, it really is a beautiful little John Barry piece (despite all the mockings back on alt.fan.james-bond).
I do too. Hal David wrote the song.
Do You Know How Christmas Trees Are Grown?
Music by John Barry
Lyrics by Hal David
Performed by Nina
La la la la la la la,
La la la la la la la.
Do you know how Christmas tree are grown?
They need sunshine.
Sunshine can’t grow Christmas trees alone;
They need raindrops.
Raindrops can’t grow Christmas trees,
here’s the reason why;
In the winter rain will freeze,
and the trees will die.
Do you know how Christmas tree are grown?
They need sunshine and raindrops,
friendship and kindness
and most of all they need love.
Do you know how Santa gets around?
He needs snowflakes.
Snowflakes cannot do it all, I found.
He needs reindeer.
Reindeer, even tho’ they try,
they need other things.
Once a year they have to fly,
and they don’t have wings.
Do you know how Santa gets around?
He needs snowflakes and reindeer,
sunshine and raindrops,
friendship and kindness
and most of all he needs love.
Do you know how Christmas cards are made?
They need pictures.
Pictures can’t complete them, I’m afraid.
They need greetings.
Greetings say what’s in your heart,
that’s what they are for.
But, when loved ones are apart,
Christmas cards need more.
Do you know how Christmas cards are made?
They need pictures and greetings,
sunshine and raindrops,
snowflakes and reindeer,
friendship and kindness
and most of all they need love.
La la la la la la la,
La la la la la la la.
