This is SO wrong. Where's Nat King Cole? Slim Dusty? Janis Joplin? The Beatles, for pity's sake. Did Bing Crosby croon in vain? And what about Babs?
What? OK. I'll just shut up now.

With a hundred and ten cornets right behind
There were more than a thousand reeds springing up like weeds,
There were horns of every shape and kind!

Double bell euphoniums and big bassoons
Each bassoon having his big fat say
Re: Sings
Date: 2005-04-25 11:15 pm (UTC)Thundering, thundering, louder than before
Clarinets of every size and trumpeters who'd improvise
A full octave higher than the score
I think that's the next verse! Of course, we corrupted it when boyczuk was a baby to say "there were rows and rows of the finest tickle toes"...and other such nonsense, which is now stuck in my head.
Pete, my score on this was so abysmal, I didn't even put it up! Low on everything they chose, from a list that was totally non reflective of my likes and listens. Humph!

"Goodbye Piccadilly, farewell Leicester Square! It's a long, long way to tickle Mary, but my heart's still there!"

To the rhythm of 'Harch Harch Harch!'
All the kids began to march
And they're marching still, right today
