Lyrics
[Verse 1]
As shepherds washed their socks by night a light shone all around
A giant, massive, juicy turnip fell onto the ground
The farmers came from near and far they'd never seen anything finer
Never before onto the floor such a thing in Asia Minor
[Chorus]
Ding dong ye merry gentlemen in royal David's city
The turnip's lost, the donkey's bust, isn't that a pity!
[Verse 2]
So Herod sent his army out, clear and present danger
All the donkeys, cows and sheeps fled into the manger
Well things were rather crowded and there wasn't not much room
So the farmers wife she swept it out with a big brushed bristled broom
[Chorus]
Ding dong ye merry gentlemen in royal David's city
The turnip's lost, the donkey's bust, isn't that a pity!
[Verse 3]
Good King Wenceslas looked out of his bedroom winda
Burnt his toe down below on a red hot cinder
The three wise men from Timbuktu were fighting in the yard
They won't be told the turnips cold the farmer says they're barred
[Chorus]
Ding dong ye merry gentlemen in royal David's city
The turnip's lost, the donkey's bust, isn't that a pity!
Instrumental
[Chorus]
Ding dong ye merry gentlemen in royal David's city
The turnip's lost, the donkey's bust, isn't that a pity!
