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. 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
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!
