The Wassail Song
 
                        Here we come a-wassailing
             _         Among the leaves so green,
      _____C .._.       Here we come a wand'ring,
 ____/     \___/           So fair to be seen.
<____/\_---\_\
    Pippi                        Chorus                     __
                        [Love and joy come to you,       ._.. D_____
                        And to your wassail too,          \___/     \____
            And God bless you and send you a happy new year,/_/---_/\____>
                   And God send you a happy new year.]        Atlas
 
                        We are not daily beggars
                       Who beg from door to door,
                     But we are neighbor's children
                _      Whom you have seen before.
         _____C .._.
    ____/     \___/              [Chorus]
   <____/\_---\_\
        Hijinx           We have a little purse
                     Made of ratching leather skin;
                    We want some of your small change
                         To line it well within.   __
                                                ._.. D_____
                                 [Chorus]        \___/     \____
                                                   /_/---_/\____>
                   God bless the Master of this house,  Rosie
                       Likewise the Mistress too;
                       And all the little children
                        That round the table go.
 
                                 [Chorus]
 
 
        Doesn't wandering about asking for goodies sound like a song
        about ferrets?
 
        My four little wassailing ferrets and I wish you a wonderful
        holiday season. We also wish for you a healthy, prosperous,
        and joyous year 2000!
 
        - kim and the four ferrets
