- 1.
- 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.
- 2.
- See the blazing Yule before us, (fa la la...)
- Strike the harp and join the chorus, (fa la la...)
- Follow me in merry measure, (fa la la...)
- While I tell of Yuletide treasure, (fa la la...)
- 3.
- Fast away the old year passes, (fa la la...)
- Hail the new, ye lads and lasses, (fa la la...)
- Sing we joyous all together, (fa la la...)
- Heedless of the wind and weather, (fa la la...)
- 4.
- Soon the hoar old year must leave us, (fa la la...)
- But the parting must not grieve us (fa la la...)
- When the new year comes tomorrow (fa la la...)
- Let him find no trace of sorrow (fa la la...)
- 5.
- He our pleasures may redouble, (fa la la...)
- He may bring us store of trouble, (fa la la...)
- Hope the best and gaily meet him, (fa la la...)
- With a jovial chorus greet him, (fa la la...)
- 6.
- At his birth, he brings us gladness, (fa la la...)
- Ponder not on future sadness, (fa la la...)
- Anxious care is now but folly, (fa la la...)
- Fill the mead-cup, hand the holly, (fa la la...)
