December 21, 2007Decrease the surplus population!
I'm sorry, but contrary to what many right-wing tosspots are fond of claiming at this time of year, there is no massive conspiracy against Christmas... only a small and rather dedicated one.
:o)
Many thanks to Garry, Justin, Gareth, Davide, Mat and especially John, who kindly brought his sax along and kept us together on most songs, not including this glorious shambles:
Including song-sheet downloads, £36 was raised and will be going straight to Medical Aid for Iraqi Children... and I now have some excellent core material for my upcoming submission to the Home Office.
Below the fold: the complete lyrics for three of the more popular songs from the evening.
Bah humbug to one and all.
-
Bah, Humbug!
(to the tune of 'Jingle Bells')
Ebenezer Scrooge
Wasn't all that dumb
Until he met the Ghost
Of Christmas Yet to Come
Then he lost the plot, and woke up with a scream
Then foolishly made life decisions based upon a dream!
Oh, bah-humbug, bah-humbug, bah-humbug, I say
We are demonstrating here
Protesting Christmas Day... hey!
Bah-humbug, bah-humbug, bah-humbug, I say
We are demonstrating here
Protesting Christmas Day!
You say Bob Cratchit's poor
Society's to blame
And somehow it's my fault
That Tiny Tim is lame
But I've got what is mine, and they've got what is theirs
And my advice is find a phone and call someone who cares
Oh, bah-humbug, bah-humbug, bah-humbug, I say
We are demonstrating here
Protesting Christmas Day... hey!
Bah-humbug, bah-humbug, bah-humbug, I say
We are demonstrating here
Protesting Christmas Day!

(I'm Dreaming of a) Short Christmas
I'm dreaming of a short Christmas
(ends)

God Rest Ye, Jobsworth Gentlemen
God rest ye, jobsworth gentlemen
Let nothing you dismay
And let's forbid all acts or deeds
That mention Christmas Day
That neighbour with his Christmas lights
Let's make the bastard pay
O warnings of health and safety
Health and safety
O warnings of health and safety
A Santa Claus who asks a child
To sit upon his knee
Might likely be a paedophile
Or threat to elf safety
So issue now the order
That he cease and leave them be
O warnings of health and safety
Health and safety
O warnings of health and safety
Ignore Richard Littlejohn
And every tabloid hack
'Cos all the fun is sucked out now
And you won't get it back
For this is War on Christmas Day
And you're under attack
O warnings of health and safety
Health and safety
O warnings of health and safety

Bah. Just think - one well-timed police raid and we could have set the cause of leftism back another couple of decades...
Maybe next year.

It went ok then?
Not sure why I got a special mention, unless someone turned up pretending to be me, or I was singing a little too loud on the way home from work in Oxford.

Whoops. My bad. Post fixed. I got mixed up between you and Davide (who has a last name very much like your nickname). That, and I'm still a little addled*. I may even nap today.
(*Yes, it went really well.)

Just been able to listen to the mp3 at home now.
Was that before or after the pub? :-)

Well, it was a song about being drunk... so a small amount of rehearsal was required.

I remember almost dying of asphyxiation while trying to do the last verse of '12 Days' in one breath.
Great to see everybody.
