(William Blake/P. Kirtley)  Sound the flute now it's mute  BIrds delight day and night  Nightingale in the dale  Lark in the sky  Merrily to welcome in the year  Little boy full of joy  Little girl sweet and small  The cock crows  So do you  Meerry voice infant noise  So merrily to welcome in the year  Little lamb here I am  Come and lick my white neck.  Let me pull on your wool  Let me kiss your soft face  And merrily we'll welcome in the year  ------------------------------------------
