lyrics

Willie, bring your little drum;
Robin, bring your fife and come;
When we play the fife and drum
Tu-re-lu-re-lu,
Pat-a-pan-a-pan,
When we play the fife and drum
Christmas shall very joyful be

Like the men of olden days
To the King of Kings gave praise,
With the sound of fife and drum
Tu-re-lu-re-lu,
Pat-a-pan-a-pan,
With the sound of fife and drum
Christmas shall very joyful be

Long ago our fathers sang
Such a song on this same day
Twas of Bethlehem, their lay,
Tu-re-lu-re-lu,
Pat-a-pan-a-pan
Where wise kings and shepherds stray
To the stars their music rang

God and man are now become like as one
Through Mary’s son
Let us play the fife and drum
Tu-re-lu-re-lu,
Pat-a-pan-a-pan
Let us play the fife and drum
As the son of God we praise
