DAME, get up and bake your pies,
Bake your pies, bake your pies;

Dame, what makes your maidens lie,
Maidens lie, maidens lie;

On Christmas day in the morning?

Ducks to die, ducks to die;

On Christmas day in the morning?

Their wings are cut and they cannot fly,
Cannot fly, cannot fly;
Their wings are cut and they cannot fly,
On Christmas day in the morning.
