Versions current among the choristers at St Mark's, Utley, in the war years:
While shepherd washed their socks by night
All seated round a tub,
A bar of Sunlight Soap came down,
And they began to scrub.
and . .
Good King Wenceslas looked out
On the feast of Stephen.
Something hit him on the snout;
'Twas a red-hot cinder.
Brightly shone his nose that night,
Though the frost was cruel;
When a poor man came in sight
Riding on a rusty bike.
