The Wassailing SongBlur

Songwriter: Damon Albarn

Producer: Blur Damon Albarn

[Chorus: Blur]
Wassail, wassail all over the town
Our toast, it is white and our ale, it is brown
Our bowl, it is made of the white maple tree
With the wassailing bowl, we'll drink to thee

[Verse 1: Damon Albarn]
So here is to Cherry and to his right cheek
Pray God send our master a good piece of beef
And a good piece of beef that may we all see
With the wassailing bowl, we'll drink to thee

[Verse 2: Blur]
And here is to Dobbin and to his right eye
Pray God send our master a good Christmas pie
And a good Christmas pie that may we all see
With the wassailing bowl, we'll drink to thee

[Verse 3: Graham Coxon]
So here is to Broad Mary and to her broad horn
May God send our master a good crop of corn
And a good crop of corn that may we all see
With the wassailing bowl, we'll drink to thee

[Verse 4: Blur]
And here is to Fillpail and to her left ear
Pray God send our master a happy New Year
And a happy New Year as e'er he did see
With the wassailing bowl, we'll drink to thee

[Verse 5: Dave Rowntree]
And here is to Colly and to her long tail
Pray God send our master he never may fail
A bowl of strong beer, I pray you draw near
And our jolly wassail, it's then you shall hear

[Verse 6: Blur]
Come, butler, come fill us a bowl of the best
Then we hope that your soul in heaven may rest
But if you do draw us a bowl of the small
Then down will take butler, bowl and all

[Verse 7: Alex James]
Then here's to the maid in the lily white smock
Who tripped to the door and slid back the lock
Who tripped to the door and pulled back the pin
For to let these jolly wassailers in

[Chorus: Blur]
Wassail, wassail all over the town
Our toast it is white and our ale it is brown
Our bowl it is made of the white maple tree
With the wassailing bowl, we'll drink to thee

Blur

British rock group Blur formed in 1988 and began life as a fairly unsuccessful shoegaze/madchester outfit, but the band quickly developed into becoming one of the leaders of the massive 1990s Britpop scene.

Their rivalry with contemporaries Oasis culminated in one of the most famous chart battles in British history – one which Blur won when “Country House” outsold Oasis’s “Roll With It” by 50,000 copies, giving Blur their first #1 single in the process.

Following this, the group embarked on a new musical direction, deliberately heading away from their trademark Britpop sound and instead taking influences from American alternative rock, a sound which earned them new fans in the US and gave them their second UK #1: “Beetlebum” in 1997.
