Willie, take your little drum
Robin take your flute, and come
When we hear the tune you play
Turelurelu Patapatapan
When we hear the tune you play
How can anyone be glum

When the men of olden days
Gave the king of kings their praise
They had pipes on which to play
Turelurelu Patapatapan
They had pipes on which to play
Full of joy on Christmas Day

God and man this day become
Joined as one with flute and drum
Let the happy tune play on
Turelurelu Patapatapan
Turelurelu Patapatapan
Flute and drum together play
As we sing on Christmas Day
