O ASCII Christmas Tree lyrics
Verse 1
Tap-tap-tap, the cursor blinksMy keyboard hums, my computer thinksLines of joy in ones and threesA star glows on the screen
Chorus
O ASCII Christmas TreeYour branches shine in text for meO ASCII Christmas Tree,Your bits & bytes are my tranquility
Verse 2
Slashes lean and pipes stand tallUnder scores make a snowy wallFrom base to top the magic growsIn keyboard art, the spirit shows
Chorus
O ASCII Christmas Tree,Your branches shine in text for me.O ASCII Christmas Tree,Your bits & bytes are my tranquility
Bridge
Slashes to the left, Slashes to the rightHacking to the left, Hacking to the rightThis Christmas is just like Jason on Halloween Night
Verse 3
Caret stars and bracket snowTiny sparkles in their glowEvery glyph a melodyA winter coded joyfully
Chorus
O ASCII Christmas Tree,Your branches shine in text for me.O ASCII Christmas Tree,Your bits & bytes are my tranquility
Outro
So when the screen glows soft and brightAnd code reflects the winter nightI’ll leave this tree for all to see—A pixel-perfect memory
Chorus
O ASCII Christmas Tree,Your branches shine in text for me.O ASCII Christmas Tree,Your bits & bytes are my tranquility
