  • Original Version

    • Cold is the man who can't love,
    • Fa la la la la, la la la la,
    • The old mountains of dear Wales,
    • Fa la la la la, la la la la,
    • To him and his warmest friend,
    • Fa la la, la la la, la la la,
    • A cheerful holiday next year,
    • Fa la la la la, la la la la.

    • Fa la la la la, la la la la,
    • Even though it has a flannel blanket on it,
    • Fa la la la la, la la la la,
    • Cold are the people who don't care,
    • Fa la la, la la la, la la la,
    • To meet together on New Year's Eve,
    • Fa la la la la, la la la la.
