A Christmas HAL-rol

Deck the halls on your HAL cruise line…
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Formal nights, they used to be fine…
Fa la la la la, la la la la.

Now the market research’s finding…
Fa la la, la la la, la la la.
That those ties are harsh and binding.
Fa la la la la, la la la la.

So we’ve done away with Formal…
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Gala nights are our new normal!
Ga la la la la, la la la la.

Follow me and wear some khakis…
Ga la la la la, la la la la.
Lose the dress, and lose the jackets!
Ga la la la la, la la la la.

So away the dress code passes…
Ga la la la la, la la la la.
Hail the new, ye lads and lasses,
Ga la la la la, la la la la.

Sing we joyous, all together,
Ga la la la la, la la la la.
Don our robes and thongs of leather!
Ga la la la la, la la la la.

Gala – la -la!

Gala – la – laaaaa!
