Love Australianising xmas! Good work, Fiatlux
Letsee how I go with Six Silly Season Songs:
1. I particularly like a version of "We Three Kings" which I've heard at the end of the Science Show programme nearest the Saturday before Xmas. Sorry to say, I haven't kept up with my old listening habits, so I'm not sure they still play it.
I don't know if there is a copyright on the words, or not. I feel certain writing some here will be okay, though.
"Wee three Kings of Orient are
One on a tractor, one in a car,
One on a scooter
Tooting a hooter
Following yonder star
"Oh-oh!" (lively now) "Star of wonder,
Star of night,
Star of beauty -
She'll be right.
Star of glory;
That's the story,
following yonder star!" (& stop.)
2. an old favourite: Jingle bells, Batman smells..." There are at least a few versions of this, all good.
3. Another jingle Bells version begins: "Dashing through the bush in a rusty Holden Ute..." Wonder who wrote it?
4. I always like DECkin The HALLS.
5, I like our extended 24 Days of Xmas, which will take half the night to sing all the way through - no skipping.
6. I expect by now, you know I'm not religious, however I do enjoy the challenge of trying to sing Glor-or-or-or-or-or, or-or-or-or- or, or-or-or-or-i-a", in a single breath.
Next: Please help me find 4 gifts (of any value), for people who I think have everything they might possibly want. My only restriction is that we do not give lumps of coal to mining magnates - they would like it too much & miss the point!
