Lyrics
1. Willie, take your little drum,
Robin, get your fife and come;
Now these instruments we play,
Tu-re-lu-re-lu, pat-a-pat-a-pan;
Now these instruments we play,
For a joyful Christmas day!
2. When the men of olden days
Sought to bring their Maker praise,
On these instruments they'd play,
Tu-re-lu-re-lu, pat-a-pat-a-pan;
On these instruments they'd play,
And their hearts were light and gay.
3. God and man this day are one,
Even more than fife and drum.
So these instruments we play,
Tu-re-lu-re-lu, pat-a-pat-a-pan;
So these instruments we play,
For a joyful Christmas day!
