- Chorus -
Bring us a bowl of good Wassail and we will sing for you,
Bring us a bowl of good Wassail and we will drink it too.
Wassail to warm our spirits and drive away the chill,
Bring us a bowl of good Wassail, Wassail and we will sing for you.

Good friends have come from far and near to sing a merry song,
We'll only sing you one or two, we won't detain you long.
Come celebrate the season, come join us one and all,
Bring us a bowl of good Wassail, Wassail and bless this house and hall.

Pass around the Wassail bowl to warm us from the cold,
We'll share a bowl of good Wassail, just as in days of old.
Our voices come together, to sing in harmony,
Bring us a bowl of good Wassail, Wassail and we will merry be.

- 3 -
Join us now in merriment, the Yule log is ablaze,
Together in sweet revelry to warm the winter days.
Outside the snow is falling, the wind is howling full,
Bring us a bowl of good Wassail, Wassail and bless this house and hall.

What makes us all good neighbors here when Old Man Winter bides?
That we may shun old grievances and grudges put aside?
‘Tis better for the season to share good company,
Bring us a bowl of good Wassail, Wassail and we will merry be.
