    So throw us the price of one gallon of beer.
    So now my ladies shake up your feathers.
    And dont you think that we are any beggars.
    For we are the boy's that can sing and play.
    And gather our change on St Stephen's Day.
    The man of this house is a decent man.
    To his house we brought the wren.
    So up with the kettle and down with the pan.
    Give us our answer and let us be gone.
