Here we come a-caroling,
Among the leaves so green!
Here we coma a-wandering,
So fair to be seen!

Love and joy come to you,
And to you glad Christmas too,
And God bless you and send you,
A Happy New Year,
And God send you a Happy New Year!

We are not daily beggars,
That go from door to door!
But we are friendly neighbours,
Whom you have seen before!

Love and joy come to you,
And to you glad Christmas too,
And God bless you and send you,
A Happy New Year,
And God send you a Happy New Year!

We wish you a Merry Christmas,
We wish you a Merry Christmas,
We wish you a Merry Christmas,
