    following song:
    The wren, the wren
    The king of all birds
    St Stephen's Day she was
    Caught in the furzes
    Although she was little
    Her family was great
    Rise up Land Lady
    And give us a treat
    Up with the kettle
    And down with the pan
    Give us a our answer
    And let us begone.
