"Pat-a-Pan" from "An album of medieval carols" - Benjamin Pearce-Higgins


Willie, take your little drum, with a whistle Robin come!
When we hear the fife and drum, ture-lure-lu, pata-pata-pan,
When we hear the fife and drum, Christmas should be frolicsome.

Thus the men of olden days for the King of Kings to praise,
When they hear the fife and drum, ture-lure-lu, pata-pata-pan,
When they hear the fife and drum, sure, our children won't be dumb.

God and man are now become more at one than fife and drum.
When you hear the fife and drum, ture-lure-lu, pata-pata-pan,
When you hear the fife and drum, dance and make the village hum.
