[Verse 1]
Rat-a-tat-tat, rat-a-tat-tat
There's someone at the door
Don't let the blighters in
Rat-a-tat-tat, rat-a-tat-tat
Golly here's some more
Better let the fun begin

[Chorus]
Let's all be, a happy family!
Sing and let the world go by
Now we're all together, let it go
Are we going to grumble? No no no!
Let's go gay, we're on a holiday
And we don't want to go to bed
Have a drink or two or three or four or five o'clock
Remember we're a long time dead!

[Chorus]
Let's all be, a happy family!
Sing and let the world go by
Now we're all together, let it go
Are we going to grumble? No no no!
Let's go gay, we're on a holiday
And we don't want to go to bed
Have a drink or two or three or four or five o'clock
Remember we're a long time dead!
[Verse 2]
*Rat-a-tat-tat, rat-a-tat-tat*
There it goes again
Whoopee! It's the policeman now
*Rat-a-tat-tat, rat-a-tat-tat*
If he should complain
Ask him in to join the round

[Chorus]
Let's all be, a happy family!
Sing and let the world go by
Now we're all together, let it go
Are we going to grumble? No no no!
Let's go gay, we're on a holiday
And we don't want to go to bed
Have a drink or two or three or four or five o'clock
Remember we're a long time dead!

[Chorus]
Let's all be, a happy family!
Sing and let the world go by
Now we're all together, let it go
Are we going to grumble? No no no!
Let's go gay, we're on a holiday
And we don't want to go to bed
Have a drink or two or three or four or five o'clock
Remember we're a long time dead!
