In times past we'd come to your door and we'd sing you
A song in exchange for some bread, cheese and ale
But in times such as these we're forbidden to visit
So we welcome you humbly to our virtual wassail.
We have not travelled far, in fact just from the kitchen
And we stand here before you in our living room.
In front of a web-cam, a mic and a MacBook
And we humbly entrant you click 'admit' on Zoom.
Of this year we are weary, but let us be cheery,
For it soon will be over and gone.
So raise up your glasses and drink to the new year
And we wish you wassail each and every one.
There's a master and mistress sat down on the sofa,
In fact, there are dozens stacked neatly in rows.
We hope that your apples continue to prosper
And likewise your PCs, iPads and smartphones
Of this year we are weary, but let us be cheery,
For it soon will be over and gone.
So raise up your glasses and drink to the new year
And we wish you wassail each and every one.
So look forward with hope to the twelvemonth that's coming
And away with this festering boil of a year.
For the fire is still burning and the world is still turning
And despite all its efforts, we're still bloody here!
Of this year we are weary, but let us be cheery,
For it soon will be over and gone.
So raise up your glasses and drink to the new year
And we wish you wassail each and every one.
So raise up your glasses and drink to the new year
And we wish you wassail each and every one.
