People: Merry Christmas, Mr Scrooge!

(They sing a Christmas song together.)

We wish you a merry Christmas

We wish you a merry Christmas

We wish you a merry Christmas

And a happy New Year.

Glad tidings we bring

To you and your kin;

Glad tidings for Christmas

And a happy New Year!

We want some figgy pudding

We want some figgy pudding
We want some figgy pudding

Please bring it right here!

Glad tidings we bring

To you and your kin;

Glad tidings for Christmas

And a happy New Year!

We won’t go until we get some

We won’t go until we get some

We won’t go until we get some

So bring it out here!

Glad tidings we bring

To you and your kin;

Glad tidings for Christmas tidings: (in old English)
news; information
And a happy New Year! kin: one’s family and
relations
We wish you a merry Christmas... figgy: made with or having
the taste or smell of figs

— Adapted from Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol
