Please bear with me, but it´s only Christmas once a year. (to the tune: God rest ye merry Gentlemen) Don´t rest, ye merry gentlemen Who in the yellow play, Remember in this marathon We´re still not yet halfway, So save us all from fret and tears By not going astray O right now it´s comfort and joy, Comfort and joy O right now it´s comfort and joy Up in Blackburn and Bolton I´m sure they´re fearing there, Of what could be if they don´t start To bring some warmth and cheer, To all their followers and friends Who hold them very dear O down here it´s comfort and joy, Comfort and joy O down here it´s comfort and joy From Lambert and all his brave men We get a canny game, And so it´s been at every step Since he and his all came, And let´s hope in this season they Continue with the same O then we´ll have comfort and joy, Comfort and joy O then we´ll have comfort and joy. (to the tune: It came upon a midnight clear) He came upon an August day Two years and some ago, And completely changed our playing way And by jove it began to show, Peace then slowly began to reign Where strife had been before, As we could see with each passing game Here we had our new saviour And with him came two other men Both with a part to play, And no more was left to chance again Order was the name of the day, And soon the fruits of their good work Were there for all to see, No place for any who would shirk Room for workers only there´d be In two short years his name was known `mongst fans both far and wide, And our club had once again just grown Into one with both heart and pride, No more grey weeks and months on end Those days were truly gone, The Lambert years had helped turn the bend And the road ahead, we were on Now here we sit proudly in the top Division of our land, And all of us hope that it won´t stop Very much as we all had planned, And can we hang on to our man For many years to come, I´m sure he´ll do just all that he can And continue what he has done.
Hear hear! Good effort RBF. Merry Christmas! I'd pull a cracker with you if I wasn't 10000 miles away
Morning RBF. Superb lyrics. Just one slight correction perhaps? You state that it's Christmas only once a year. Surely for us canary fans, everyday is like Christmas since the Messiah arrived 'two years and some ago'. Hope you have a good seasonal time in Denmark and the weather doesn't get too chilly.
Thanks Maestro, will turn to frost and snow at some point I´m sure, but right now it´s very English, wet and warm
Hi RBF! I think you should produce an album, proceeds to the Canaries! And merry festivities and a very happy new year to you and your's
Let´s hope he brings us 3 points and some toffees redruth, always get hungry over Jul, and as we say here, ´Glædelig Jul`, to you too.
An album sounds good to me, just as long as no-one expects me to sing, singing was never quite my forte. and have a good Christmas yourself Dave.
