Deck the Hall

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 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.

Jingle Bells

Dashing through the snow,

In a one-horse open sleigh,

O’er the fields we go,

Laughing all the way!

Bells on bobtails ring,

Making spirits bright,

What fun it is to ride and sing

A sleighing song tonight!

Oh, Jingle bells, jingle bells,

Jingle all the way!

Oh what fun it is to ride

In a one-horse open sleigh!

Jingle bells, jingle bells,

Jingle all the way!

Oh what fun it is to ride

In a one-horse open sleigh!

A day or two ago

I thought I’d take a ride

And soon, Miss Fanny Bright

Was seated by my side;

The horse was lean and lank;

Misfortune seemed his lot,

We ran into a drifted bank

And there we got upsot.

Oh, Jingle bells, jingle bells,

Jingle all the way!

Oh what fun it is to ride

In a one-horse open sleigh!

Jingle bells, jingle bells,

Jingle all the way!

Oh what fun it is to ride

In a one-horse open sleigh!

Now the ground is white,

Go it while you’re young,

Take the girls tonight

and sing this sleighing song.

Just get a bobtailed bay,

Two forty as his speed,

Hitch him to an open sleigh

And crack! You’ll take the lead.

Oh, Jingle bells, jingle bells,

Jingle all the way!

Oh what fun it is to ride

In a one-horse open sleigh!

Jingle bells, jingle bells,

Jingle all the way!

Oh what fun it is to ride

In a one-horse open sleigh!
