Let's dance and sing and make good cheer, | |||
For Christmasse comes but once a year. | :Let's dance and sing and make good cheer, | ||
Make merry now nor draw a tear, | :For Christmasse comes but once a year. | ||
So early in the morning. | :Make merry now nor draw a tear, | ||
Then shout and sing till rafters ring, | :So early in the morning. | ||
For joy and mirth the seasons bring; | :Then shout and sing till rafters ring, | ||
We'll welcome Father Christmasse in, | :For joy and mirth the seasons bring; | ||
So early in the Morning. | :We'll welcome Father Christmasse in, | ||
:So early in the Morning. | |||
