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