Wil lie, get 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?
God and man to day be come close ly joined as flute and drum.
Let the joy ous tune play on!
Tu re lu re lu, pat a pat a pan; As the in stru ments you play, We will sing on Christ mas glum?
God and Day.
