- (continued from previous page)They'll play from Ryan's corner
To fonent the priest's hall door
But they wont wake up the good P.P.
For he'll be up before
My lazy friend take warning
And get up for Goodness sake
For if you dont, they'll do their best
To keep you wide awake
They'll bang the drum with a rum-tum-tum
No matter what you say
And then my friend you will not spend a
A pleasant Xmas Day.Now if you've any sense at all,
Just think on what I've said
And when the band is playing grand
You won't remain in bed.
And when you come to hear the drum
And the cornet sweetly play
We'll wish you all both great and small
