- The wren , the wren
The king of the birds
Up with the kettle
And down with the pan
A penny or two-pence
To bury the wren
If you have not twopence
A penny will do
If you have not a penny
A halfpenny will do
And if you have not a halfpenny
God bless you We chased the wren
From rock to rock
We chased him
Into a public shop
We dipped his nose
In a bottle of beer
and I wish you all a happy New Year - We chased the wren
From rock to rock
We chased him
Into a public shop
We dipped his nose
In a bottle of beer
and I wish you all a happy New Year(continues on next page)
