The Chipmunks Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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 Yule tide carol
Now all you kids at home, on the next chorus
The Chipmunks will sing the words
And you sing the Fa la la's
Here we go
See the blazing Yule before us
Strike the harp and join the chorus
Follow me in merry measure
While I tell of Yule tide treasure
Alright everybody, altogether now
And here are the words
Fast away the old year passes
Fa la la la la, la la la la
Hail the new, ye 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
Fa la la la la, la la la la
