Those aren't the words!

I know I said I was done blogging 'til the New Year, but I've been dying to get these silly alternate versions of Christmas carols blogged down for weeks. So here goes (just in the St Nick of time!)

Jingle bells:

(Both S-boy and L-boy have the words to this one down pat!)

Jingle bells, batman smells
robin laid an egg..
The Batmobile has lost its wheel
And the joker got away, HEY!

While Shepherds watched their flocks:

While shepherds washed their socks by night
While watching ITV
The Angel of the Lord came down
And switched to BBC.

(Back in the 80s the British TV channel ITV wasn't considered to be on a par with the BBC)

We Three Kings: (Momma's personal favorite)

We three kings of Leicester square
selling knickers penny a pair
they're fantastic, no elastic
buy your Granny a pair!

or

We three kings of orient are
one in a taxi one in a car
one in a scooter pipping his hooter (or, one in a stable drinking Black Label)
and following yonder star


Good King Wenceslas:


Good King Wenceslas looked out
of his bedroom window
silly bugger he fell out
on a red hot cinder
brightly shone his arse bum that night
Though the frost was cruel
When a poor man came in sight
he fell into the swimming pool
(I don't think I'm getting the ending right. Anyone remember how it goes?)

Let me know if I missed any. I'd love to add more silly Christmas songs to my repertoire, my boys love 'em!

I best get to bed as I think Santa might be here....

YO HO HO, MERRY CHRISTMAS!

  2. I've only heard of the jingle bells one so you taught me something to share with my kids next year. :)

  3. When a poor man came in sight
    gathering shit for fuel

    I used to know another verse but can't remember it - anyone ?

  4. I always thought it was
    Good King Wenceslas looked out
    of his bedroom window
    silly bugger he fell out
    on a red hot cinder
    brightly shone his arse that night
    though the wind was bitter
    And his wife shouted down to him
    "shut the f*cking window!
