On This Merry Yuletide Day (A Yuletide carol)

Here comes the jolly Holly King
for feasting and for frolicking;
he’s happy as a harlequin
on this merry Yuletide day.

His bushy beard is white as snow;
his cheeks, as red as robins, glow
and he greets men with a “Ho-ho-ho!”
on this merry Yuletide day.

He’s got a sack of sweets and toys
for all good little girls and boys
to spread goodwill and peace and joy
on this merry Yuletide day.

If you hang up a pretty wreathe
of prickly green holly leaves,
a lovely gifts what you’ll receive
on this merry Yuletide day.
