Deck the Halls

Deck the halls with boughs of holly.
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la!

Tis the season to be jolly.
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la!

Don we now our gay apparel.
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la!

Troll the ancient Yule tide carol.
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la!

See the blazing Yule before us.
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la!

Strike the harp and join the chorus.
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la!

Follow me in merry measure.
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la!

While I tell of Yule tide treasure.
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la!

Fast away the old year passes.
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la!

Hail the new, ye lads and lasses.
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la!

Sing we joyous, all together.
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la!

Heedless of the wind and weather.
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la!
