Поется легко. Есть более современный вариант. Найду - добавлю.
В некоторых классах душевно поют нашу песенку)))
Fir – Tree
(Учащиеся поют на мотив песни “В лесу родилась ёлочка”)
1. A fir was born in deep wood
And in the wood grew tall.
And there in seasons she stood
The greenest tree of all.
2. The snowstorms whispered lullabies,
And wrapped up all the trees.
She sang: "Now close your lovely eyes,
Make sure you don't freeze. "
3. The fir to our party's come,
And all this winter night
She brings such joy to everyone –
Oh, what a lovely sight.
А еще сегодня нашла смешную идиому -
