It translates well to American. Is that our Badger referred to in the song?

Thank you, weelittledrummer, for drawing attention to the song, and thanks also to Mike Gregory. I've performed this song several times in the past couple of weeks and it's gone down a storm each time.

So pleased!

Mike is an extraordinary talent. His delivery is a bit singing postman style - he has written a terrific song about sheds.

From: Big Al Whittle

Here you are - transcribed with love. Mike has raised over two hudred quid with making an EP CD of this and two other Christmas songs. What a pity our folk superstars can't write anything that has that passing resemblance to the life of ordinary folk


CHRISTMAS ON THE ESTATE
By Mike Gregory

(To the tune “Rocking around the Christmas Tree”:)
There’s nothing around the Christmas tree ‘cause the burglars came last night.
We never heard a thing ‘cause we were wrecked on Diamond White.
We're not sure who did the job, but we'll get back our loot.
With a couple of big lads and a van, we'll raid the next car boot.

We won’t tell the coppers that we've had the pikeys round.
If we did, then we'd be sorry.
Most of it fell off the back of lorries!

The kids’ DVDs and PSPs have gone and it’s not fair.
They won't have single piece of bling when they go back into care.
Everything will turn out fine. We’ll do what we've done before.
We'll wait till they’ve gone to their granny's then we'll burgle them next door.

(To the tune “I Saw Mother Kissing Santa Claus”)
I saw Bazza mugging Santa Claus
Just outside the Dog and Duck last night.
The lead pipe gave a thud,
Then there was lots of blood
Spurting from his head wound on his beard all snowy white.

If I grassed on who did Santa Claus,
They'd kick out of me seven shades of shite,
And the cops will soon be here,
For their share out of the gear
Bazza nicked off Santa Claus last night!

(To the tune “O Little Town Of Bethlehem”:)
O little town of Chesterfield, I hate it when you're shut.
I can't rob owt from JJB’s or hang round Pizza Hut.
All the pubs are closed, so I can't have a pint and game of pool,
But at least I’ve got another ten days before I start skiving school.

(To “The 12 Days of Christmas”:)
On the twelfth day of Christmas, my other half and me
Had twelve bloody kids,
With eleven different fathers,
Ten Benson and Hedges,
Nine-ninety-nine for
Eight chicken nuggets,
A Watney's party seven,
A six-pack of Stella,
Five ringtones!
A four-bedroom house
Free rental,
Too much to drink,
And a fifty-two inch plasma TV!


ready for next year Scrump! Or perhaps theres still time in the Christmas season.


all the best

al

Like the Twelve Days of Christmas! I'm working on one that goes:-

On the first day of Christmas my true love sent to me
A partridge in a pear tree.

On the second day of Christmas my true love sent to me
An EU Directive forbidding the transport of poultry other than in Standard Conveyances,
And a Partridge in a pear tree.

I'll let you have the rest by next Christmas,
I read too much Ogden Nash, thats the trouble.
