On December twenty-fifth,
Sing fum, fum, fum! *
On December twenty-fifth,
Sing fum, fum, fum!
On that night a child was born,
Pink and white, at break of morn,
In a stable dark and dreary,
Lay the Son of Virgin Mary,
Fum, fum, fum!
Holidays the good Lord gave us,
Fum, fum, fum!
Holidays the good Lord gave us,
Fum, fum, fum!
Summer feasting suits us best,
Yet, withal His name be blest.
He who doth our needs remember,
Sent us Christmas in December,
Fum, fum, fum!
