Song Lyric Question - Christmas Song?

I remember hearing this song several years ago but never knew its title or origin. I think the very beginning is:





Johnny get your little drum, Peter bring your flute and come/


Celebrate this day, this joyous holiday.





It doesn't sound like a modern song/melody, rather it feels more traditional/folk-ish. Don't think Ave Maria or actual folk music, those are the incorrect meanings of my adjective choices.





Thanks ahead of time!

Song Lyric Question - Christmas Song?
"Pat-A-Pan" is based on a 17th century French carol composed by Bernard de la Monnoye.








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, on Christmas Day.





God and man today become


Closely joined as flute and drum


Let the joyous tune play on


Tu-re-lu-re-lu, pat-a-pat-a-pan


As the instruments you play


We will sing, this Christmas Day.
