Willie, take your little drum; with your whistle, Robin, come!
When we hear the fife and drum, Tu-re-lu-re-lu, pat-a-pat-a-pan,
When we hear the fife and drum, Christmas should be frolicsome.

So the people in those days, loved the King of kings to praise:
When they hear the fife and drum, Tu-re-lu-re-lu, pat-a-pat-a-pan,
When they hear the fife and drum, all our children soon will come.

God and man are now become, more at one than fife and drum.
When you hear the fife and drum, Tu-re-lu-re-lu, pat-a-pat-a-pan,
When you hear the fife and drum, dance, and make the village hum!
