  • 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 year, 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 Lyrics from a song in Public Domain
