Willie, take your little drum

Robin take your flute, and come

When we hear the tune you play

Turelurelu Patapatapan

When we hear the tune you play

How can anyone be glum



When the men of olden days

Gave the king of kings their praise

They had pipes on which to play

Turelurelu Patapatapan

They had pipes on which to play

Full of joy on Christmas Day



God and man this day become

Joined as one with flute and drum

Let the happy tune play on

Turelurelu Patapatapan

Turelurelu Patapatapan

Flute and drum together play

As we sing on Christmas Day
