Good King Wenceslas Looked Out, on the Feast of Stephen.

I checked the spelling of "Wenceslas" by looking at a cassette, "Favorite Carols for Christmas," by the Robert Wagner Chorale, SM Capitol 4XL-9002. It's copyrighted 1964, so that's obviously for the LP.

"Good King Sauerkraut looked out,
On his feets uneven,
While the snoo lay round about,
All kerchoo acheiven."

"Good King Stephen looked outside,
On the Feast of Wenzel.
Slapped his pocket and exclaimed,
'I have lost my pencil!'

While a lackey standing near
A window drew a stencil.
And a rooster crowed quite loud,
Sitting on a fencil hmmm.

Then King Stephen went outdoors,
Into the night so cru-el.
And he saw a poor man there,
Gath'ring winter fu-el.

He said 'That I'm still up north,
I feel like a foo-el.
If I were in Cape Town now,
I'd be by the poo-el hmmm."
