Pat-a-pan Lyrics - Singles - Mormon Tabernacle Choir

Willie, take your little drum, 

Robin, bring your flute and come. 

When we hear the fife and drum, 

Tu-re-lu-re-lu, pat-a-pat-a-pan; 

When we hear the fife and drum: 

Christmas should be frolicsome. 

Take thy tabor and thy flute, 

None today must e'er be mute: 

With such jolly shepherd toys, 

Tu-re-lu-re-lu, pa-ta-pa-ta-pan; 

To the sound of this shrill noise, 

Let us raise a Noel, Boys!

9 Misheard Christmas Carol Lyrics 

Long ago our fathers sang 

Such a song on this same day: 

'Twas of Bethlehem, their lay, 

Tu-re-lu-re-lu, pa-ta-pa-ta-pan; 

Where wise kings and shepherds stray 

To the stars their music rang.

As we join our choicest airs, 

In a hymn that upward fares: 

Earth and heaven seem near our prayers: 

Tu-re-lu-re-lu, pa-ta-pa-ta-pan; 

Vanish all our daily cares 

While we dance and sing Noel.
