Deck The Halls
Mickey and the Gang Lyrics

The famous Christmas carol “Deck the Halls” was originated in the 1800s and has become one of the most well-known holiday songs across the world. The song's first line, "Deck the halls with boughs of holly", is the perfect invocation to prepare for the holidays. The line reflects the custom of decorating homes with evergreens during the festive season. In the next line, "Tis the season to be jolly," the carol expresses the joy and happiness of the holiday season.

The second stanza, "Don we now our gay apparel", is a call to wearing festive clothes and dressing up for the celebration. Here, the term "gay" didn't necessarily mean "homosexual", but instead "social," "festive," or "bright and showy." The next line proclaims, "troll the ancient Yuletide carol", signifying the act of singing Christmas songs, which is an age-old custom. The third stanza repeats the first, which echoes the idea of decorating homes with more holly.

Finally, the last two lines, "No, no, no, more mistletoe, di, di, di, di, di, di, di," seem to be a humorous message or a joke. The lyrics express that there is too much holly and mistletoe around the house, and one needs to slow down a bit, eliminating the need for more mistletoe. The "di, di, di, di, di, di, di" is just a repetition of notes, adding to the jolly nature of the song.
