    Rise up old woman and give us a treat
    A treat, a treat, for every man
    Up with the kettle, and down with the pan
    Give is some money to bury the Wren
    Pockets of money and barrels of beer
    I wish you all a Happy New YEar
    After the rhyme is chanted the Wren boys generally get money, and (generally) some pudding or cake.
