Although it is little, its family is great.

Cheer up my landlady and fill us a treat,

And if you fill it of the best,

In heaven I hope your soul will rest;

But if you fill it of the small,

It won’t agree with the wren boys at all.

Sing holly, sing ivy, sing ivy, sing holly,

To sing a bad Christmas is all but a folly.

On Christmas day I turned the spit,

I burned my fingers, I feel it yet;
