Auld Lang Syne

At the stroke of midnight we had a fireworks display in the "beer garden" of the pub. It was a little weird not hearing the bongs of Big Ben, but fireworks more than made up for it :-)

Weird thing was no one broke out into singing Auld Lang Syne. So we had an impromptu one when we realised about an hour later :-)

Should old acquaintance be forgot,and never brought to mind? Should old acquaintance be forgot,and auld lang syne ?

CHORUS:
For auld lang syne, my dear,
for auld lang syne,
we'll take a cup o’ kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.

And surely you’ll buy your pint cup !And surely I’ll buy mine ! And we'll take a cup o’ kindness yet,for auld lang syne.

CHORUS

We two have run about the slopes,and picked the daisies fine ;But we’ve wandered many a weary foot,since auld lang syne.

CHORUS

We two have paddled in the stream,from morning sun till dine ;But seas between us broad have roaredsince auld lang syne.

CHORUS

And there’s a hand my trusty friend !And give us a hand o’thine !And we’ll take a right good-will draught,for auld lang syne.

CHORUS

Well, at least I can say that your dad and I knew more words to this song than anyone else did put together... but I certainly did not know any of the verses past the second one... must revise more for this years celebrations :) and make sure that we do it at midnight this time and not when we remember at about 12.30!

When do the Nomi singing lessons start then? I need a lot of practice to actually be any good.

Easy peasy, I expect you to have this memorised by Saturday :)

DAD:
There are Jews in the world.
There are Buddhists.
There are Hindus and Mormons, and then
There are those that follow Mohammed, but
I've never been one of them.

I'm a Roman Catholic,
And have been since before I was born,
And the one thing they say about Catholics is:
They'll take you as soon as you're warm.

You don't have to be a six-footer.
You don't have to have a great brain.
You don't have to have any clothes on. You're
A Catholic the moment Dad came,

Because

Every sperm is sacred.
Every sperm is great.
If a sperm is wasted,
God gets quite irate.

CHILDREN:
Every sperm is sacred.
Every sperm is great.
If a sperm is wasted,
God gets quite irate.

GIRL:
Let the heathen spill theirs
On the dusty ground.
God shall make them pay for
Each sperm that can't be found.

CHILDREN:
Every sperm is wanted.
Every sperm is good.
Every sperm is needed
In your neighbourhood.

MUM:
Hindu, Taoist, Mormon,
Spill theirs just anywhere,
But God loves those who treat their
Semen with more care.

MEN:
Every sperm is sacred.
Every sperm is great.
WOMEN:
If a sperm is wasted,...
CHILDREN:
...God get quite irate.

PRIEST:
Every sperm is sacred.
BRIDE and GROOM:
Every sperm is good.
NANNIES:
Every sperm is needed...
CARDINALS:
...In your neighbourhood!

CHILDREN:
Every sperm is useful.
Every sperm is fine.
FUNERAL CORTEGE:
God needs everybody's.
MOURNER #1:
Mine!
MOURNER #2:
And mine!
CORPSE:
And mine!

NUN:
Let the Pagan spill theirs
O'er mountain, hill, and plain.
HOLY STATUES:
God shall strike them down for
Each sperm that's spilt in vain.

EVERYONE:
Every sperm is sacred.
Every sperm is good.
Every sperm is needed
In your neighbourhood.

Every sperm is sacred.
Every sperm is great.
If a sperm is wasted,
God gets quite iraaaaaate!
