Singalong Lyrics
Deck the Halls
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 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.
Up on the Housetop
Up on the housetop, reindeer pause. Out jumps good old Santa Claus.
Down through the chimney with lots of toys. All for the little ones, Christmas joys.
Ho, ho, ho! Who wouldn’t go! Ho, ho, ho! Who wouldn’t go!
Up on the housetop, click, click, click. Down through the chimney with good Saint Nick.
Jingle Bells
Dashing through the snow, in a one horse open sleigh.
O’er the fields we go laughing all the way.
Bells on bobtail 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!
Oh! Jingle bells! Jingle bells! Jingle all the way!
Oh what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh!
We Wish You a Merry Christmas
We wish you a merry Christmas. We wish you a merry Christmas.
We wish you a merry Christmas and a happy New Year!
Good tidings to you wherever you are.
Good tidings for Christmas and a happy New Year.
We wish you a merry Christmas. We wish you a merry Christmas.
We wish you a merry Christmas and a happy New Year!
And a happy New Year!
