They Might Be Giants

C Is For Conifers

Most with cones for seeds, most with needles for leaves

C is for conifers, my kind of trees

Large junipers and fir, spruce, cedars and pines

C is for conifers, more than five hundred kinds

If you see a Christmas tree or a stack

Of newspapers or a 2 by 4 frame of a house

It's probably made from pine trees and pine trees

Are conifers, that's what this song is about

Or if you see a plant in the shape of an elephant

Or in the shape of a dog

It's probably a shrub, a conifer shrub

Pruned into that shape by someone

Most with cones for seeds, most with needles for leaves

C is for conifers, my kind of trees

Large junipers and fir, spruce, cedars and pines

C is for conifers, more than five hundred kinds

There are so many different kinds of conifer trees

This is just a few of them, spruce, hemlocks, larch, cyprus

Juniper, fir, Douglas fir, cedar, yew, pine, the dwarf conifer

And the great California sequoia redwood

Most with cones for seeds, most with needles for leaves

C is for conifers, my kind of trees

Large junipers and fir, spruce, cedars and pines

C is for conifers, more than five hundred kinds
