I WITH a hey! and a hi! and a hey-ho glee! O a Christmas glass for a sweet-lipped lass To kiss and pass, in her coquetry -- So rare! And the lads all flush save the right one there -- So rare -- so rare! With a hey! and a hi! and a ho -- oh! The Christmas holly and the mistletoe! II With a hey! and a hi! and a hey-ho wile! As he lifts the cup and his wan face up, Her eyes touch his with a tender smile -- So rare! Then his hands grasp out -- and her own are there -- So rare -- so rare! With a hey! and a hi! and a ho -- oh! The Christmas holly and the mistletoe! CHORUS With a hey! and a hi! and a hey-ho-ho! The wind, the winter and the drifting snow! With a hey! and a hi! and a ho -- oh!
