Verse 1
Now we've met, let's merry, merry be,
In spite of all our foes,
And he that will not merry, merry be,
We'll pull him by the nose.
Chorus
Let him be merry, merry there,
Whilst we are merry, merry here,
For who can know where we shall go,
To be merry another year.
Verse 2
He that will not merry, merry be,
With a generous bowl and a toast,
May he in Bridewell be shut up,
Fast bound unto a post.
Chorus
Verse 3
He that will not merry, merry be,
In the company of jolly boys,
May he be plagued with a scolding wife,
To confound him with her noise.
Chorus
Verse 4
He that will not merry, merry be.
And take his glass in course,
May he be obliged to drink small beer,
Never a penny in his purse.
Chorus
Verse 5
He that will not merry, merry be,
With his sweetheart by his side,
May he be laid in the cold church yard,
With a headstone for his bride.
Chorus
