¶Lyrics / Text

Once roam'd I in the forest, Upon the mossy floor, But now am I upon this dish, O most unfort'nate Boar! The Queen her College Oxenford Hath brought me to this fate, That at the Feast of Christèmas My head is on a plate. The other swine and animals Do mock me as I lie, The swans of Sinjun Cambridge, The blackbirds of the pie; They say, He lovèd apples, But now he cannot munch, For Master, Fellows, Scholars Are hungry for their lunch. O all ye roaming fauna, Regard and pity me, Who am thus cruelly roasted And serv'd for Christmas tea; My tusks are made impotent, My snout is nicely crisp, And of my rustic bristles Remaineth not a wisp.
