Copied from a PDF at the website of Stainer & Bell, the publisher of the sheet music: THE WASSAIL OF FIGGY DUFF (Michael Flanders) Oh Christmasse is icum Mark ye Robin's ruddy tum. And ye winde itte bloweth very rough, rough, rough, Now do as ye be tolde To keepe us from ye colde And fille us up with Figgy, Figgy Duff, Figgy Duff. So merrily we sing For to make ye Welkin ring. Though of singing we have hadde quite enough, nough, nough. My maisters if you please Give us a mouldy cheese To eat with our Figgy, Figgy Duff, Figgy Duff. If a cheese ye have not got Then a groat must be our lot As we dance round the Mistletoe Buff (Bough) Buff! If you haven't got a groat You can go and cut your throat And ne'er have any Figgy, Figgy Ne'er have any Figgy, Figgy Ne'er have any Figgy, Figgy Duff, Figgy Duff!
