    they sing :-
    First Person.
    They wren, the wren, the king of all birds
    On St Stephen's day he was caught in the flood
    Although he is small, his family is great,
    So, arise Loudlady and give us a treat
    A piece of your bread and a drop of your beer
    And I'll wish you a happy Christmas and a bright New Year
    2nd Person.
    Here I come wee Bulgibub and under my arm I carry my clog
    And in my hand a frying pan
    So I think myself a happy wee man.
