Here We Come a'Wassailing
"Here We Come a'Wassailing" is a traditional, if somewhat obscure, Christmas carol. The term "wassailing" refers to the practice of traveling from door-to-door singing Christmas carols and is referential of an archaic tradition of charitable neighborly giving distinct from begging.[1] The song is track 5 on the album Arthur's Perfect Christmas and is performed by Arthur, Binky and Buster. The song generally matches the lyrics of the original, but with certain kid-friendly substitutions such as "glass of milk" instead of "glass of beer."
Lyrics[edit]
Arthur, Binky and Buster
Wassail, Wassailing
Wassail, Wassailing
Here we come a 'Wassailing
Among the leaves so green
Here come a'wandering, so fair to be seen
Love and joy come to you
And to you our wassail too
And God bless you and send you a Happy New Year
And God send you a Happy New Year
Wassail, Wassailing
Wassail, Wassailing
Arthur
We are not daily beggars
Who beg from door to door
Buster
But we are neighbors' children
Whom you have seen before
Arthur, Binky and Buster
Love and joy come to you
And to you our wassail too
And God bless you and send you a Happy New Year
And God send you a Happy New Year
Binky
Call up the butler of this house
Put on his golden ring
Buster
Let him bring us up a glass of milk and
Better shall we sing
Arthur, Binky and Buster
Love and joy come to you
And to you our wassail too
And God bless you and send you a Happy New Year
And God send you a Happy New Year
Wassail, Wassailing
Wassail, Wassailing
Wassail, Wassailing
Wassail, Wassailing
Here we come a 'Wassailing
Among the leaves so green
Here come a'wandering, so fair to be seen
Love and joy come to you
And to you our wassail too
And God bless you and send you a Happy New Year
And God send you a Happy New Year
Wassail, Wassailing
Wassail, Wassailing
Wassail, Wassailing
Wassail!
