Traditional

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 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 us in merry measure.
Fa-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la
While we 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 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
