Old King Cole

Was a merry old soul,

And a merry old soul was he.

**Dave:**

He called for his pipe,

And he called for his bowl,

And he called for his fiddlers three!

Now every fiddler, had a very fine fiddle,

And a very fine fiddle had he.

There's none so rare as can compare

With King Cole and his fiddlers three

**Dave:**

Then he called for his pipers two

And they puffed and they blew tootleoo

King Cole laughed as his glass he quaffed

**Dave:**

And his pipers puffed tootleoo

Then he called for the drummer boy

The army's pride and joy

And the thuds rang out with a loud bang, bang

The noise of the noisiest toy

**Dave:**

Then he called for his trumpeters four

**Dave:**

Who played at his old palace door

And they played trang-a-tang whilst the drummer went bang

And Cole cried out for more

**Dave:**

The he called for a man to conduct

Who in his bed have been tucked

And he had to get up without bite or sup

And wag his stick and conduct

**Dave:**

And Old King Cole he laughed with glee

Such rare antiques to see

There never was a man in merry England

Who was half as merry as he

Jack and Jill went up the hill

To fetch a pail of water.

Jack fell down and broke his crown,

And Jill came tumbling after.

Up Jack got, and home did trot,

As fast as he could caper,

He went to bed to mend his head,

With vinegar and brown paper.

We're gonna sing that again

I'm gonna tell you when

Sat in the corner,

Eating his Christmas pie;

And pulled out a plum,

And said ‘What a good boy am I.

The grand old duke of York

He had ten thousand men

He marched them up to the top of the hill

And he marched them down again.

And when they were up, they were up

And when they were down, they were down

And when they were only halfway up

They were neither up nor down.
