Lyrics (game adjusted)
Wassail! Wassail all over the town!
Our toast it is white and our ale it is brown;
Our bowl it is made of the good rowan tree;
With the wassailing-bowl, we´ll drink to thee!

So here is to Jewel and to her right cheek!
Pray Eru send our skilled cook a good piece of beef,
And a good piece of beef that we all may see;
With the wassailing-bowl we´ll drink to thee!

And here is to Holly and to her right eye!
Pray Eru send our baker a good Yuletide pie,
And a good Yuletide pie that we may all see;
With our wassailing-bowl, we´ll drink to thee!

So here is to Maggot and to his first born!
May Eru send our farmer a good crop of corn,
And a good crop of corn that we may all see;
With the wassailing-bowl we´ll drink to thee!

And here is to Ardo and to his left ear!
Pray Eru send our minstrel a happy new year,
And a happy new year as e´er he did see;
With our wassailing-bowl we´ll drink to thee!

And here is to Gamgee and to his long tale!
Pray Eru send our Gaffer he never may fail
A bowl of strong beer, I pray you draw near,
And our jolly wassail it´s then you shall hear.

Then here´s to the maid in the lily-white smock
Who tripped to the door and slipped back the lock;
Who tripped to the door and pulled back the pin,
For to let these jolly wassailers in.

Wassail! Wassail all over the town!
Our toast it is white and our ale it is brown;
Our bowl it is made of the good rowan tree;
With the wassailing-bowl, we´ll drink to thee!

Drink to thee, drink to thee,
With the wassailing-bowl we´ll drink to thee.
