withdrawn as sailors hold festive sing song (7)

Clue given verbally from an unknown source. sing song could be two words or one as in a singsong voice.

I have tried withdrawn "as" and withdrawn "as sailors"

I have tried abs tars lascars and RN for sailors

I have had the sailor holding f for festive

I am totally flummoxed.

Any help

Thanks

It's Wassail, festive sing-song. It's in the clue, the correct version - WithdraW AS SAILors.

I saw that, mamya - I posted only because the OP didn't return to say that he/she had got the answer.

Thank you Mamya and Malone. Getting rid of the s made all the difference to the club. However I still misinterpreted the clue indicator thinkin git was sailors Hold, instead of the correct interpretation.
