[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
