    The "Wran" the "Wran" the King of all birds
    On Stephens Day she was caught in the firs
    Mrs ______ is a lady. Mr _____ is a gentleman
    To your house we brought the Wran
    We dipped her head in a barrell of beer
    We wish ye all a Happy New Year
    So up with the kittle and down with the pan
    And give us a penny or two to bury the Wran
