Deck the hall 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 Yuletide 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 Yuletide 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!
