Deck the halls with fools and berries
Fill the boats and drunken ferries
“Ha, ha ha!” the psychotics sing
Sing the songs of sanguine howling
Of drunken revelry and stomachs growling
Slay a stranger in manic passing
Ye faithful, all are massing
“Burn, baby burn” the pyromaniacs sing

Bathe in blood to paint the town red
Through randomness the boring dread
“Back, back I say!” the paranoid sing
The times come to talk of the thing
And have a madman placed as king
It’s the time to be holy hollowly jolly
As the guests and faithful all are folly
“Art darling Art” the Artists sing


Feel the force of slate and slander
The woodcutting smooth sander
“More, MORE!” the addicts sing
Food and liquor and fully pleasure
All extended past their measure
Jump and run and stab and slash
Ecstatic murder in a hazy flash
“Die, die, die” the murderers sing

Deck the halls with fools and follies
The mad king hands out frozen lollies.
