[Intro: Chorus]
Pan-pat-a-pan
Pat-a-pat-a-pan
Pan-pat-a-pan
Pat-a-pat-a-pan
Pan-pat-a-pan, pat-a-pat-a-pan

[Verse 1: Bing Crosby]
Willie, take your little drum
Robin bring your fife and come
When we play the fife and drum
Tu-re-lu-re-lu
Pat-a-pat-a-pan
When we play the fife and drum
Christmas shall very joyful be

[Verse 2: Bing Crosby, with Chorus]
Like the men of olden days
Who the king of kings did praise
With the sound of fife and drum
Tu-re-lu-re-lu
Pat-a-pat-a-pan
With the sound of fife and drum
To the Lord we shall bring our praise
[Instrumental break]

[Verse 3: Bing Crosby]
While shepherds watched their sheep by night
Glad tidings brought an angel bright

[Chorus: Bing Crosby & Chorus]
How great their joy (How great their joy)
Joy joy joy (Joy joy joy)
Glory to God in Heaven on high (Glory to God in Heaven on high)

[Verse 4: Bing Crosby]
"Fear not at all," He said to them
"Jesus is born in Bethlehem"

[Chorus: Bing Crosby & Chorus]
How great their joy (How great their joy)
Joy joy joy (Joy joy joy)
Glory to God in Heaven on high (Glory to God in Heaven on high)

[Verse 5: Bing Crosby]
Jesus we hasten to adore
Grant us thy blessing ever more

[Chorus: Bing Crosby & Chorus]
How great their joy (How great their joy)
Joy joy joy (Joy joy joy)
Glory to God in Heaven on high (Glory to God in Heaven on high)
