Pat-A-Pan

Guillô, prends ton tambourin

Toi, prends ta flûte, Robin

Au son de ces instruments

Tu-re-lu-re-lu, pat-a-pat-a-pan

Au son de ces instruments

Je dirai Noël, gaiement

Willie, bring your little drum

Robin, get your fife, and come

And be merry while you play

Tu-re-lu-re-lu, pat-a-pat-a-pan

We will listen as you play

For a joyful Christmas day

When the men of olden days

Gave the King of Kings their praise

They had pipes on which to play

Tu-re-lu-re-lu, pat-a-pat-a-pan

They had drums on which to play

For the joy of Christmas day

Oo oh oh oh oh

God and man became today

More in tune than fife and drum

So be merry while you play

Tu-re-lu-re-lu, pat-a-pat-a-pan

Come be merry while you play

On this joyous Christmas day

While the angels wing

To the newborn King

I will sing for the blessed Babe

On this joyous Christmas day

God and man became today

More in tune than fife and drum

So be merry while you play

Tu-re-lu-re-lu, pat-a-pat-a-pan

Come be merry while you play

On this joyous Christmas day

While the angels wing

To the newborn King

I will sing for the blessed Babe

On this joyous Christmas day

(Tu-re-lu-re-lu-ra-le. Come and hear them patapan.)

Bring your little drum

Robin, get your fife and come

(Tu-re-lu-re-lu-ra-le. Come and hear them patapan.)

Men of olden days

Gave the King of Kings their praise

(On this joyous Christmas day)

Bring your little drum

Robin, get your fife and come

(Come be merry)

Men of olden days

Gave the King of Kings their praise

(On this joyous Christmas day.)

Bring your little drum

Robin, get your fife and come

(Come be merry)

Men of olden days

Gave the King of Kings their praise

(On this joyous Christmas day)
