“The wren the wren the king of all birds...”
(continued from previous page)Put your hand in your pocket and give us a treatIII
Sing holly, sing ivy, sing ivy, sing holly
To keep a bad Christmas it is folly
For Xmas comes but once a year
And when it comes it brings a good cheerIV
I have a little box under my arm
Three or four coppers would do it no harm
Up with the kettle and down with the pot
Give us our answer and let us be off.- Collector
