Lyrics of Deck The Halls - Lou Rawls

Deck The Halls (original)

Deck the halls with boughs of holly
Sha ba da ba da, ba da ba da
Tis the season to be jolly
Sha ba da ba da, ba da ba da
Don we now our gay apparel
Sha ba da ba da, ba da ba da
Troll the ancient Yule tide carol
Sha ba da ba da, ba da ba da
See the blazing Yule before us
Sha ba da ba da, ba da ba da
Strike the harp and join the chorus
Sha ba da ba da, ba da ba da
Follow me in merry measure
Sha ba da ba da, ba da ba da
While I tell of Yule tide treasure
Sha ba da ba da, ba da ba da
Fast away the old year passes
Sha ba da ba da, ba da ba da
Hail the new, ye lads and lasses
Sha ba da ba da, ba da ba da
Sing we joyous, all together
Sha ba da ba da, ba da ba da
Heedless of the wind and weather
Sha ba da ba da, ba da ba da
