"O Christmas Tree" (originally known as "O Tannenbaum") is a German Christmas song. Based on a traditional folk song, it became associated with the traditional Christmas tree by the early 20th century and sung as a Christmas carol.
This song is featured in various Disney music media, including Disney Sing Along Songs: The Twelve Days of Christmas along with the last song "We Wish You a Merry Christmas." It is also heard in the film Santa Buddies, sung by a group of young carolers.

O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree,
How steadfast are your branches!
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree,
How steadfast are your branches!
Your boughs are green in summer's clime
And through the snows of wintertime
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree,
How steadfast are your branches!
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree,
What happiness befalls me
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree,
What happiness befalls me
When oft at joyous Christmastime
Your form inspires my song and rhyme
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree,
What happiness befalls me
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree,
Your boughs can teach a lesson
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree,
Your boughs can teach a lesson
That constant faith and hope sublime
Lend strength and comfort through all time
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree,
Your boughs can teach a lesson
Daisy: O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree,
How lovely are thy branches!
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree,
How lovely are thy branches!
Not only in the summertime,
But even in winter is thy prime
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree,
How lovely are thy branches!
Ludwig Von Drake: O Tannenbaum, O Tannenbaum,
Thy candle shine out brightly!
O Tannenbaum, O Tannenbaum,
Thy candle shine out brightly!
Each bough it holds its tiny light,
That makes each toy to sparkle bright
O Tannenbaum, O Tannenbaum,
Thy candle shine out brightly!
Mickey: O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree,
Your branches green delight us!
Minnie: O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree.
Your branches green delight us!
Altogether: You're green when summer days are bright,
You're green when winter snow is white
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree...
Daisy: How lovely are thy branches!
(Thy branches)
