LYRICS:
In comes I old Father Christmas, who here does not know my name?
Sword and buckler under my waistcoat, so I hope to win the game.

We've been rambing all of the night and rambling some part of the day
We are champions born of every nation, come make room now clear the way.

CHORUS
Ring Christmas bells, for now's the season to be jolly
Ring Christmas bells, for Christmas time is here.

In comes I the loathsome dragon, Snapdragon is my name
Lords and Champions quail before me, Nations tremble at my fame.

In comes I Prince George of Britain, I will slay that dragon bold
I will fight him, I will smite him bravely, and I'll win three crowns of gold.

In comes I, the old quack doctor, I can cure the blind and lame
I'll drive out lumbago, gout and palsy and make a dead man rise again.

CHORUS

Now our sport is almost ended (fa-la-la-la-la la-la la la) and Christmas comes but once a year
we hope there's none here we've offended and we hope we've brought you all good cheer.

Here's hoping that we've pleased the company and we hope you'll treat us right
Pass the cup and fill it up with money then we'll bid you all good night.
