We're 1-2-3 jolly lads all in one mind

We have come Christmas caroling and we hope you'll prove kind

And we hope you prove kind with your cakes and strong beer

And we'll come no more nigh you until the next year

We'll sing of the baby in Bethlehem barn

To Mary and Joseph on a cold Christmas morn

He was sent from above to be King of all kings

We rejoice in His memory and merely sing

We're 1-2-3 jolly lads all in one mind

We have come Christmas caroling and we hope you'll prove kind

And we hope you prove kind with your cakes and strong beer

And we'll come no more nigh you until the next year

We'll sing of the bells that do joyfully ring

Of the peace and goodwill that the season does bring

And our friends and relations that we seldom do see

We'll all meet together now in one company

We're 1-2-3 jolly lads all in one mind

We have come Christmas caroling and we hope you'll prove kind

And we hope you prove kind with your cakes and strong beer

And we'll come no more nigh you until the next year

We'll sing of Saint Nicolas soon he'll be here

With toys for the children and lots of good cheer

And the feast of Saint Stephen with snow on the ground

I will wish we had Christmas the whole year around!

We're 1-2-3 jolly lads all in one mind

We have come Christmas caroling and we hope you'll prove kind

And we hope you prove kind with your cakes and strong beer

And we'll come no more nigh you until the next year

Come ladies and gentlemen sit by the fire

Put your hands in your pockets, and give us our desire

Put your hands in your pockets, and treat us all right

If you give not we'll take not farewell and good night!

We're 1-2-3 jolly lads all in one mind

We have come Christmas caroling and we hope you'll prove kind

And we hope you prove kind with your cakes and strong beer

And we'll come no more nigh you until the next year
