Alternate lyrics to Christmas Carols

[TwickenhamCyclist]

What worries me is the original poster's apparent intimate knowledge of the Jeremy Kyle program.

your worried? How do you think I feel??
It's like a bad tooth, you know you shouldn't touch it but....

Not alternate lyrics, but I've just remembered something we used to do which drove (some of) the teachers nuts at school (but probably amused others, I'd guess)... in "O Come All Ye Faithful", in the bit where "oh come let us adore him" are repeated x3 in a crescendo, the first would be almost whispered, the second at normal volume levels, and the third time screamed as loud (and tunelessly) as you could. Kept us amused every Christmas for years, that did

And don't forget the very last line: "Chri-ist I'm bored!"

 

[Andy in Sig]

When the red, red robin
Goes bob, bob, bobbing along ...



SHOOT THE BASTARD, SHOOT THE BASTARD, SHOOT, SHOOT, SHOOT!

(The latter line to be chanted with a degree of vigour.)

 

[Mad Doug Biker]

I remember this one from my school days.

While Shepherds washed their socks by night

'Whilst Shepherds' watched their flocks by night, all sitting on a bank
An angel came down to them and they all had a......'

Also:

'Away in a manger, no crib for a bed
The little Malteser lay down it's sweet head
The stars in the bright sky shone down where it lay
And the little Malteser just melted away'

When the red, red robin
Goes bob, bob, bobbing along ...



SHOOT THE BASTARD, SHOOT THE BASTARD, SHOOT, SHOOT, SHOOT!

Obviously not a Hull KR fan .

That's lost on me afraid. They're not called the robins are they?

My nephew (4) sang the opening lines of Away in a Manger down the phone at me earlier, he's learning it at school. He then sang it again, only it had become Away in a Poo Poo. Apparently he was on the toilet at the time...

Yes they are and that's also their song .

From Private Eye's Christmas record** in whichever year it was the drink drive laws came in .....

Good King Wenseslas got pissed
On the feast of Stephen
Said we fuzz two lights you've missed
Into this bag you're breathin'
Brightly shone the crystals green
Due to excess wassail
Christmas is a groovy scene
God bless Barbara Ca-aa-stle*

*Barbara Castle was the minister of transport in the Harold Wilson government who was responsible for introducing the breathalyser, which for all you young-uns wasn't electronic, it relied on the colour change of some crystals in a tube which reacted chemically to the acetic acid in the drunk driver's breath.

** Editor Peter Cook, who I think IIRC sang the song on the record.
