Let Us Come In Lyrics

We are three wand'ring trav'lers
Out in the wind and the rain
We saw your light, cheery and bright
And tapped on your window pane, singing:

Let us come in, let us come in
Into your house so gay
Let us come in, let us come in
Please do not send us away

We heard the music playing
Sounded like happy time news,1
One of us said, "Let's knock on the door!"
The other said, "What can we lose?" singing:

One of us plays on the whistle
Makes such a musical tweet
One of us sings such beautiful things
And one keeps time with his feet, singing:

Please go ahead with your dinner
We will just wait till you're through
But if you find there's enough to go round
Save us a beefsteak or two, singing:

We will make noise very softly
The landlord won't hear us at all
And if there's not enough room in the beds
We will just sleep in the hall, singing:

One or two extra won't matter
Plenty of room on the floor
You'll look around and find we have gone
After a fortnight or more, singing:
