Composed: c. 1700
Sung by: The King's Singers
A Little Christmas Music - Cover Art


Oh, 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.
Fill the glasses, raise the wassail, Fa la la, la la la, la la la.
Troll the ancient Chrismas carol, Fa la la la la, la la la la.

See the flowing ball before us. Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
Start the band 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 we sing of mirth and pleasure. Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la

Fast the festive season passes. [...]
Join the fun, ye lads and lasses. [...]
Sing we gaily all together. Fa-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la
Mindless of the wind and weather. Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la

Merry, merry Christmas to you!
