Hey! Ho! Nobody Home!—

Dating back to sixteenth-
century England, Hey! Ho! Nobody Home! was sung
by carolers who went from door to door to receive
food for their singing, although there is no reference
in the lyrics to the Christmas holiday. Presented as a
round, this swing-style arrangement is easy to learn
and fun to sing!
