Patapan / O Come, O Come Emmanuel Songtext
Willie, bring your little drum
Robin, bring your fife and come
And be merry while you play,
Tu-re-lu-re-lu,
Pat-a-pat-a-pan,
Come be merry while you play,
for the joy of Christmas day

When the men of olden days
To the King of Kings gave praise
On the fife and drum did play,
Tu-re-lu-re-lu
Pat-a-pat-a-pan
On the fife and drum did play
for the joy of Christmas day

Rejoice! Rejoice!
Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel
Rejoice! Rejoice!
Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel

God and man today become
More in tune than fife and drum
So be merry while you play
Tu-re-lu-re-lu
Pat-a-pat-a-pan
So be merry while you play
Sing and dance this Christmas Day!

O come, O come, Emmanuel
Tu-re-lu-re-lu
Pat-a-pat-a-pan
And be merry while you play
Shall come to thee, O Israel
Shall come to thee, O Israel
Shall come to thee, O Israel
