The Four Presents (1995) Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I had 4 sisters beyond the sea
Per Meri Dixi Dominie
And they each sent a present to me
Peri Meri Dixi Dominie
[Chorus]
Petrum Patrum Paradisi Tempori
Peri Meri Dixi Dominie
[Verse 2]
The first sent a chicken without 'ere a bone
Pere Meri Dixi Dominie
The second sent a cherry without 'ere a stone
Pere Meri Dixi Dominie
[Chorus]
Petrum Patrum Paradisi Tempori
Peri Meri Dixi Dominie
[Verse 3]
The third sent a book which no one could read
Peri Meri Dixi Dominie
The fourth sent a blanket without a thread
Peri Meri Dixi Dominie
[Chorus]
Petrum Patrum Paradisi Tempori
Peri Meri Dixi Dominie
[Verse 4]
How can there be a chicken without 'ere a bone?
Peri Meri Dixi Dominie
How can there be a cherry without a stone?
Peri Meri Dixi Dominie
[Chorus]
Petrum Patrum Paradisi Tempori
Peri Meri Dixi Dominie
[Verse 5]
How can there be a book which no one could read?
Peri Meri Dixi Dominie
How can there be a blanket without a thread?
Peri Meri Dixi Dominie
[Chorus]
Petrum Patrum Paradisi Tempori
Peri Meri Dixi Dominie
[Verse 6]
When the chicken's in the eggshell, there is no bone
Peri Meri Dixi Dominie
When the cherry's in the bud, there is no stone
Peri Meri Dixi Dominie
[Chorus]
Petrum Patrum Paradisi Tempori
Peri Meri Dixi Dominie
[Verse 7]
When the book's in the press, no one it can read
Peri Meri Dixi Dominie
When the blanket's on the fleece, there is no thread
Peri Meri Dixi Dominie
[Chorus]
Petrum Patrum Paradisi Tempori
Peri Meri Dixi Dominie
