Wreck the Halls with Boughs of Holly

Lyrics

[Verse 1] M: 'Tis the night before Equimas and all through the town Everything's coming loose; everything's falling down (sounds of things falling and crashing) Be careful with that holly! L: Don't nail anything to the wall, I'm warnin' ya. Use Scotch tape; Scotch tape is better! C: For paper, it's good. For holly, it's rotten! M: Watch out what you hang on that chandelier; it's not strong! C: Tinsel. Tinsel. It's only tinsel L: It's too MUCH tinsel! C: What harm could one more teensy weensy piece of tinsel do? Here, let me show you...there. See? AHHHHHH! (chandelier crashes) M: Though we hang our gay decorations with care L: The whole house is a mess M: and we cry in despair! ALL: (crying, then singing:) Don't wreck the halls with boughs of holly Fa-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la Decorating can be folly Fol-ly-fol-ly-fol-ly-fol-ly-fol (more crashes) [Verse 2] M: I _told_ you it wouldn't hold! You wouldn't listen! (SLAP!) C: Oooh, that hurt! M: No, it didn't! THIS one will hurt! (SLAP!) C: OOOOW! Hey, you're right! [Chorus] ALL: Holly leaves are sharp like stingers Fa-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la Handle them with dainty fingers Fa-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la [Outro] C: Ooh, my finger! It's bleedin'! M: Serve ya right; I told you it was sharp! That tree is not straight! L: It's leaning M: It's too much decorations on the left side! L: No, it's NOT ENOUGH decorations on the left side! C: You're BOTH wrong; it's not enough on the top! Here, I'll show ya! L: No, no, don't put anything more on the top! M: Come down from there! Watch out what you're doin'! C: Oooh! Whoa! L: It's dangerous! I'm warnin' ya, I'm tellin' ya it's... M: TIMMM-BERRRRRRRRRR! (Tree and Curly crashes) C'mon, Larry, let's get Curly Joe out from under that tree again
