GThings have gone modern, I 'spose that's the cause
CChristmas is Dnot like it Gwas

(knock, knock, knock) Any Mummers 'lowed in?
[Verse 1]
GHark what's the noise, out by the porch door
CGranny 'tis Gmummers theres A20 or Dmore
Her Gold weathered face lightens up with a grin
Any CMummers nice DMummers 'lowed Gin?
GCome in lovely Mummers don't bother the snow
We can Cwipe up the Gwater sure Aafter you Dgo
GSit if you can or on some Mummer's knee
Lets Csee if we Dknow who ya Gbe
[Chorus 1]
There's big oDnes 'n tall ones 'n small ones 'n tGhin
ABoys dressed as women and Dgirls dressed as men
GHumps on their backs an mitts on their feet
My Cblessed we'll Ddie with the Gheat
[Verse 2]
There's Gonly one there I think that I know
That Ctall feller Gstanding o'er long Aside the Dstove
He's shaGkin' his fist for to make me not tell
Must be CBilly from Dout on the Ghill
[Verse 5]
Now Gthat one's a stranger if there ever was one.
With his Cunderwear Gstuffed and his Atrap door unDdone.
