A Parody of Christmas Carols

An Outsiders Comedy

Deck the Halls

ENTER: Darry, Johnny, Steve, Pony and Soda

Darry: Ok you guys. It's time to put up the decorations.

Soda: As long as you don't make me stand on that ladder again. Pony was holding it and I almost broke my neck.

Pony: Did not!

Johnny: I'll do it if you want me to guys.

Steve: And I'll provide the entertainment.

Soda: What are you gonna do, put the lights on your head and dance around?

Steve: No, I'm gonna sing.

Darry: Oh no. shakes head

Steve: Deck the halls with boughs of holly, fa, la, la ,la ,la ,la ,la ,la ,la.

Johnny: Ah, guys, there's no holly.

Soda: Tis the season to be jolly, fa, la, la, la, la, la ,la, la, la.

Johnny: I won't be jolly if I fall off this ladder.

Pony: Don we now our gay apparel, fa, la ,la ,la ,la ,la, la, la ,la.

Johnny: Now I know why Soda didn't want to do this! Pony! Stop shaking the ladder!

Darry: Troll the ancient yuletide carol, fa, la, la, la ,la, la, la, la, la.

Johnny: Enough with the singing guys. Worry about the lights.

Steve: See the blazing yule before us, fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la.

Johnny: Starts to lose his balance. Oh, I'm gonna be blazing all right.

Soda: Strike the harp and join the chorus, fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la.

Johnny: I'd be satisfied just to join you on the floor.

Pony: Follow me in merry measure, fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la.

Johnny: Uh oh…guys…I'm….FALLING! He falls.

Darry: While I tell of yuletide treasure…

Johnny: Wait! I've got one. Instead of fa, la…it's going to be FALL LA!

Steve: Wait, Johnny, did you fall off that ladder?

Johnny: You don't say.

Darry: Pony, why didn't you hold it?

Pony: I was holding it…it was just… the music…the singing…I got caught up.

Soda: Well…we may as well finish the song, thenJohnny can get back up there and…

Johnny: Oh no! I ain't goin' back up there. Pony can do it, since he's incapable of holding a ladder.

Pony: What, why me?

Johnny: Cause, when you fall, I'll have a perfect ending to the song…

Pony: What's that?

Johnny: Fall, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.

Pony: Huh?

Johnny: Never mind. Just climb the ladder.

Pony climbs up, and as soon as he is at the top, everyone leaves.

Pony: Hey guys…are you gonna leave me up here all alone? Guys? Oh well…Deck the halls with boughs of holly…

Starts to move his hands like he's conducting an orchestra.

Pony: Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la….

Falls.

Pony: (Groans) La, la.
