mulan – the holly and the ivy lyrics
[refrain]
the holly and the ivy
when they are both full grown
of all the trees that are in the wood
the holly stands alone
[verse 1]
the holly bears a blossom
as white as the lily flower
as beautiful as snowfall
more beautiful each hour
[chorus]
oh, the rising of the sun
the running of the deer
the playing of the pretty flute
sweet music to the ear
lovely music far and near
[verse 2]
the holly bears a berry
as red as any rose
and somehow seems more merry
than any tree that grows
with the holly bears a pr+ckle
as sharp as it can be
just beware the th+rn might stick you
so pick it carefully
[chorus]
oh, the rising of the sun
the running of the deer
the playing of the pretty flute
sweet music to the ear
hear the music far and near
[verse 3]
the holly bears a bark
as bitter as its brown
still we come to pick the berries
to decorate the town
[refrain]
the holly and the ivy
when they are both full grown
of all the trees that are in the wood
the holly stands alone
[outro]
the prettiest i’ve known
to grace our lovely home
our lovely, loving home
