Lyrics

Wil lie, take your lit tle drum, Rob in bring your flute, and come.

Aren’t they fun to play up on?

Tu re lu re lu, pat a pat a pan; when you play your fife and drum, how can an y one be glum?

When the men of old en days gave the King of Kings their praise, they had pipes to play up on.

Tu re lu re lu, pat a pat a pan; and al so the drums they’d play, full of joy, on Christ mas Day.
