4th Grade Magnet -- "Pat-a-pan"

Ms. Lopez and Mr. Anderson's class -- here is the first of your two songs -- "Pat-a-pan". Hopefully this recording will help you learn the words and see how they fit together with the drumming.



PAT-A-PAN
Traditional French Carol

Guilo prends ton tamourim.
Toi, prends ta fluté Robin.
Au son de ces instruments.
Tu-re-lu-re-lu
Pat-a-pat-a-pan
Au son de ces instruments
Je dirai Noel gaiment.

Willie, get your little drum;
Robin bring your flute and come.
Aren’t they fun to play upon?
Tu-re-lu-re-lu
Pat-a-pat-a-pan
When you play your fife and drum
How can anyone be glum?

When the men of olden days
Gave the King of Kings their praise,
They had pipes to play upon.
Tu-re-lu-re-lu
Pat-a-pat-a-pan
And also the drums they’d play,
Full of joy of Christmas Day
