Willie, bring your little drum;

Robin, bring your fife and come;

And be merry while you play,


Tu-re-lu-re-lu,

Pat-a-pan-a-pan,

Come be merry while you play,

Let us make our Christmas gay!


When the men of olden days

To the King of Kings gave praise,

On the fife and drum did play,


Tu-re-lu-re-lu,

Pat-a-pan-a-pan,

On the fife and drum did play,

So their hearts were glad and gay!


God and man today become

More in tune than fife and drum,

So be merry while you play,


Tu-re-lu-re-lu,

Pat-a-pan-a-pan,

So be merry while you play,

Sing and dance this Christmas day!
