    Here comes I the Wren !
    The wren ! the noble Wren!
    It's money I want,
    It's money I crave,
    And if I don't get money,
    I'll sweep you to your grave,

    (Song)
    God bless the master of the house,
    Likewise the mistress,
    And all the children around the fire too
    With your pockets full of money
    And your barrels full of beer,
    I wish you a merry Christmas,
    And a Happy New Year.
