Hi Rusty

Thanks for bringing this to our attention - it's a little gem! However...

Sorry to be pedantic but there seems to be a slight discrepancy between the words of the song given above and what KW is singing on the video clip. It's a bit confusing because although the words are set approximately to the tune of "Old Lang Syne", KW doesn't follow the tune exactly on every verse. On a couple of occasions he stops before the end of a verse, pauses or does a bit of patter, and then goes straight to the next verse – I've indicated these breaks in the transcription below.

Wassail! (Or just this once, "Santé")
