Deck The Halls
The Muppets Lyrics

The Muppets song, "Deck the Halls," is a beloved classic that speaks to the holiday spirit. The song starts with the command to decorate with "boughs of holly," evoking the imagery of Christmas decorations. The jolly tone of the song is reinforced by the phrase "tis the season to be jolly." The line "Don we now our gay apparel" speaks to the custom of getting dressed up in festive outfits during the holiday season. The next line, "Troll the ancient Yule-tide carol," refers to the tradition of singing ancient carols of the winter solstice.

The second stanza of the song contains the phrase "See the blazing Yule before us," which refers to the Yule log, an ancient tradition that is still practiced in some parts of the world. The line, "Strike the harp and join the chorus," refers to the custom of making music and singing during the holiday season. The phrase "Follow me in merry measure" speaks to the joyousness of the season, and the final line of the stanza, "While I tell of Yule-tide treasure," evokes the sense of warmth and coziness that many feel during the holidays.

The third stanza of the song speaks to the passage of time and the coming of a new year. The line "Fast away the old year passes" references the concept of time and how it seems to fly by during the holiday season. The phrase "Hail the new year, lads, and lasses" evokes the sense of new beginnings that comes with the coming of a new year. Finally, the last two lines of the song, "Sing we joyous, all together, heedless of the wind and weather," speak to the sense of community that accompanies the holiday season and how people come together to celebrate regardless of the weather.
