WENCESLAS! (The Good King Meets A Yankee)
Good King Wenceslas Looked out upon the feast of Stephen,
When the snow lay round about, deep and crisp and even.
4D: Brightly shone the moon that night,
4S: though the frost was cruel.
All: When a poor man came in sight, gath’ring winter fuel.
VAMP #1: Wait a minute! It says in the program we’re singing WENCESLAS!, but that sounded
like YANKEE DOODLE. Let’s try this again.
Yankee Doodle went to town, when the King did call him.
Though the snow lay on the ground, that did not forestall him.
4D: Yankee Doodle, keep it up,
4S: Yankee Doodle dandy,
All: Mind the music and the step and bring the Christmas candy.
VAMP #2: Now I’m really confused. You got the melody right but where did those YANKEE
DOODLE words come from?
Hmmm… Let’s try it without words.
4D: Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo ___ doo doo doo doo doo ___ doo
4S: Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo ___ doo
4D: Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo ___ doo doo doo doo doo ___ doo
4S: Doo _ doo doo doo doo doo doo
All: doo doo doo doo doo doo ___ doo
VAMP #3: Dear, Guests, I’m so sorry! We are reallllly messed up! Please, give us one more
chance to get this right. Okay, 4th graders, think! Here we go!!
Yankee Doodle went to town, on the feast of Stephen.
Stuck a feather in his cap, deep and crisp and even.
Yankee Doodle, keep it up, though the frost is cruel.
Mind the music and the step
