So now is come our joyful'st feast	A
Let every man be jolly	B
Each room with ivy leaves is drest	A
And every post with holly	B
Though some churls at our mirth repine	C
Round your foreheads garlands twine	C
Drown sorrow in a cup of wine	C
And let us all be merry	B
	-
Now all our neighbors' chimneys smoke	D
And Christmas blocks are burning	E
Their ovens they with bak'd meats choke	D
And all their spits are turning	E
Without the door let sorrow lie	F
And if for cold it hap to die	F
We'll bury 't in a Christmas pie	F
And evermore be merry	B
	-
Now every lad is wondrous trim	G
And no man minds his labor	H
Our lasses have provided them	I
A bag pipe and a tabor	H
Young men and maids and girls and boys	J
Give life to one another's joys	J
And you anon shall by their noise	J
Perceive that they are merry	B
	-
Rank misers now do sparing shun	C
Their hall of music soundeth	K
And dogs thence with whole shoulders run	C
So all things there aboundeth	K
The country folk themselves advance	L
For crowdy mutton's come out of France	L
And Jack shall pipe and Jill shall dance	L
And all the town be merry	B
	-
Ned Swash hath fetch'd his bands from pawn	C
And all his best apparel	M
Brisk Nell hath bought a ruff of lawn	C
With droppings of the barrel	M
And those that hardly all the year	N
Had bread to eat or rags to wear	O
Will have both clothes and dainty fare	O
And all the day be merry	B
	-
Now poor men to the justices	P
With capons make their arrants	Q
And if they hap to fail of these	R
They plague them with their warrants	Q
But now they feed them with good cheer	N
And what they want they take in beer	N
For Christmas comes but once a year	N
And then they shall be merry	B
	-
Good farmers in the country nurse	S
The poor that else were undone	C
Some landlords spend their money worse	S
On lust and pride at London	C
There the roisters they do play	T
Drab and dice their land away	T
Which may be ours another day	T
And therefore let's be merry	B
	-
The client now his suit forbears	S
The prisoner's heart is eased	A
The debtor drinks away his cares	S
And for the time is pleased	A
Though others' purses be more fat	A
Why should we pine or grieve at that	A
Hang sorrow care will kill a cat	A
And therefore let's be merry	B
	-
Hark how the wags abroad do call	U
Each other forth to rambling	E
Anon you'll see them in the hall	U
For nuts and apples scrambling	E
Hark how the roofs with laughters sound	A
Anon they'll think the house goes round	A
For they the cellar's depth have found	A
And there they will be merry	B
	-
The wenches with their wassail bowls	S
About the streets are singing	E
The boys are come to catch the owls	S
The wild mare in is bringing	E
Our kitchen boy hath broke his box	S
And to the dealing of the ox	S
Our honest neighbors come by flocks	S
And here they will be merry	B
	-
Now kings and queens poor sheepcotes have	V
And mate with everybody	B
The honest now may play the knave	W
And wise men play at noddy	B
Some youths will now a mumming go	X
Some others play at rowlandhoe	Y
And twenty other gameboys moe	X
Because they will be merry	B
	-
Then wherefore in these merry days	S
Should we I pray be duller	H
No let us sing some roundelays	S
To make our mirth the fuller	H
And whilst thus inspir'd we sing	E
Let all the streets with echoes ring	E
Woods and hills and everything	E
Bear witness we are merry	B
