+Since man was first created,
+These words have been debated
+That we have celebrated
+The coming of the Spring
+**Chorus:**
+//Hal-an-Tow, jolly rumble-O
+We were up long before the day-O
+To welcome in the summer
+To welcome in the May-O
+For summer is a-comin' in
+And winter's gone away-O//
+Take no scorn to wear the horn
+It was the crest when you were born
+Your father's father wore it
+And your father wore it too
+[Chorus]
+What happened to the Spaniards
+That made so great a boast-O?
+They shall eat the feathered goose
+And we shall eat the roast-O
+[Chorus]
+Robin Hood and Little John
+They've both gone to the fair-O
+And we will to the merry green wood
+To hunt the buck and hare oh
+[Chorus]
+God bless the merry muses
+With all their power and might-O
+And send this peace to England
+Let peace be day and night-O
+[Chorus]
