Our Crooked Little Tree

Christmas Swing Pop
Newlyweds Nora and Jamie spend their first Christmas in a small rented apartment. A bargain tree leans into the curtains, the landlord bans real candles, and dinner needs rescuing. None of it feels like a compromise when they make their own first traditions.
Newlyweds Nora and Jamie spend their first Christmas in a small rented apartment. A bargain tree leans into the curtains, the landlord bans real candles, and dinner needs rescuing. None of it feels like a compromise when they make their own first traditions.
Playful Christmas swing-pop with walking upright bass, swinging piano and crisp brass replies. Bright sleigh bells, glockenspiel and lively jazz drums with a light swung pulse. Expressive female lead, tight backing-vocal answers and a punchy full-band finish.

“Their first apartment Christmas has one wobbly tree, burnt cookies and just enough room to dance.”

Lyrics
Jamie bought the last one From the man beside the store Half the price and twice the lean We could barely get it through the door I found a stack of books To lift the shorter side Now the landlord's old encyclopedia Is keeping Christmas upright
The star is nearly touching The curtain on the left You stand back looking proud of it And I fall in love again
Here's to our crooked little tree Here's to you and here's to me Dancing where the sofa used to be Our very first Christmas Eve Let the fancy houses shine We've got yours mixed up with mine Nothing's where it's meant to be But you're right here with me By our crooked little tree
You said you knew the recipe I said I knew the oven Now we're calling blackened cookies An acquired taste worth loving The candle's got a battery The turkey's much too big And a neighbor from the downstairs flat Has brought us half a pudding
We eat off mismatched dishes With your knee against my knee You ask what we should do next year I say, I'd like all of this, please
Here's to our crooked little tree Here's to you and here's to me Dancing where the sofa used to be Our very first Christmas Eve Let the fancy houses shine We've got yours mixed up with mine Nothing's where it's meant to be But you're right here with me By our crooked little tree
Someday we'll have a bigger room A table that seats eight But keep this photograph of us Before we straighten anything Your paper hat is slipping And the timer's going off You pull me from the dishes And we dance with the timer on
Here's to our crooked little tree Here's to you and here's to me Dancing where the sofa used to be Our very first Christmas Eve Let the fancy houses shine We've got yours mixed up with mine Nothing's where it's meant to be But you're right here with me By our crooked little tree
Don't you straighten that for me I like our crooked little tree One more dance, just you and me Merry Christmas, Jamie
