Verse 1
oh the wren, he's the king of all birds
On
St
Stephen's
Day he got caught in the fur
So it's up with the kettle
and it's down with the pan
Won't you give us a penny for
to bury the wren?
Hoppin' boppin' tickle- a- dow

Well it's
Christmas time, that's
why we're here
Please be good enough to give us an ear
For we'll sing and we'll dance if you give us
a chance
And we won't be coming back for
another whole year
Hoppin' boppin' piddly- dop
Dippity- dap and piddly- dap-

We'll play caribou cause they're
real hot stuff
We'll play the mason's
apron and a pinch of snuff
John
Maroney's jig and the
Tony
Gahl reel
Music made to put a spring in
your heel
Hoppin' boppin' piddly- dop
Hoppin' boppin' piddly- dap
If there's a drink in the house, would
it make itself known?
Before I sing a song, call
the banks of the loan
A drink with lubrication in it
For me poor dry throat, then
I'll sing like
A linnet
Hop an' bop an' fiddle- a- dum
Hop an' dip and dap
and doodle- a- dap
Fiddle- a- dap a- diddle-
iddle- dum
Hop an' bop an'
fiddle- duo- ti- lo- da
Doo- te- da- pin- piddle- a- da- de- dum
Da- de- diddly- dum
Oh, please give us something for
the little birds' wake
A big lump of pudding or some
Christmas cake
A fistful of goose and a hot cup-
a- tay
And then we'll all be going
on our way
Hop an' bop an' fiddle- a- dum
Doo- te- da- pin- piddle- a- da-
de- dum
A- dum- bum- diddle- a- ba- diddle- a- da- ba- diddle- a- da-
da- dum- bum- diddle- a- da- da- dum- bum- diddle- a- dum
O'd the
Wren
O'd the
Wren, he's the king of all birds
And since
Stephen's day he got caught in the fur
So it's up with the kettle
and it's down with the pan
Won't you give us a penny for
How did you like the song?
