[Chorus]
Singing
Li de li de li oh oh
Well a li de li de li oh
Li de li de li oh oh oh
Well a li de li de li oh

But the thorn is sharp and swollen
And the man plays a beautiful whistle

[Chorus]
Singing
Li de li de li oh oh oh
Well a li de li de li oh
Li de li de li oh oh oh
Well a li de li de li oh
[Verse 2]

And the angels which carry St. Andrew high

[Chorus]
Singing
Li de li de li oh oh
Well a li de li de li oh

[Chorus]
Singing
Li de li de li oh oh
Well a li de li de li oh
Li de li de li oh oh oh
Well a li de li de li oh
Li de li de li oh oh
Well a li de li de li oh
Li de li de li oh oh
Well a li de li de li oh
