Don't seem like Christmas if the Mummers aren't here,
Granny would say as she'd sit in her chair;
Things have gone modern, I s'pose that's the cause,
Christmas is not like it was.
(Knock, knock, knock, knock)
ANY MUMMERS ALLOWED IN ?
C
Hark, what's the noise out by the porch door?
F C D
Granny, 'tis mummers, there's twenty or more;
C
Her old weathered face brightens up with a grin,
F G C
Any Mummers, nice Mummers, 'lowed in?
C
Come in, lovely Mummers, don't bother the snow,
F C D G
We can wipe up the water sure after you go;
C
Sit if you can or on some Mummer's knee,
F G C
Let's see of we know who ya be.
G
There's big ones 'n' small ones 'n' tall ones 'n' thin,
D G
Boys dressed as women and girls dressed as men;
C
Humps on their backs an mitts on their feet,
F G C
My blessed we'll die with the heat.
C
There only one there I think that I know,
F C D G
That tall feller standing o'er long side the stove;
C
He's shakin' his fist for to make me not tell,
F C
Must be Billy from out on the hill.
C
Now that one's a stranger if there ever was one,
F C D G
With his underwear stuffed and his trap door undone;
C
Is he wearin' his mother's big 42 bra?
F G C
I knows but I'm not gonna say.
G C
Don't s'pose you fine Mummers would turn down a drop,
D G
No home brew or alchy, what ever you got;
C
Not the one with his rubber boots on the wrong feet,
F G C
He's had enough for to do him a week.
C
S'pose you can dance, yes they all nods their heads,
F C D G
They've been tappin' their feet ever since they came in;
C
Now that the drinks have been all passed around,
F G C
The Mummers are plankin' her down.
C
Be careful the lamp and hold onto the stove,
F C D G
Don't swing Granny hard 'ause you know that she's old;
C
No need for to care how you buckles the floor,
F G C
'Cause Mummers have danced here before.
G C
My God, how hot is it, we better go,
D G
I 'low we'll all get the devil's own cold;
C
Good night and good Christmas, Mummers me dears,
F G C
Please God, we will see you next year.
C
Good night and good Christmas, Mummers me dears,
F G C
Please God, we will see you next year.
