Tom Lehrer – Christmas carol

Christ-mas time is here, by gol-ly,     by golly=”ih du store!”

Dis-ap-pro-val would be fol-ly,

Deck the halls with hunks of hol-ly,  – holly=kristtjørn

Fill the cup and don’t say “when.” 

Kill the tur-keys, ducks and chick-ens,

Mix the punch, drag out the Dick-ens,

E-ven though the pros-pect sick-ens,

Bro-ther, here we go a-gain.

 

On Christ-mas Day you can’t get sore, 

time to rob

The oth-er three hun-dred and six-ty-four.

 

Re- la-tions, spar-ing no ex-pense ‘ll

Send some use-less old u-ten-sil,

Or a match-ing pen and pen-cil.

“just the thing I need! how nice!”

It does-n’t mat-ter how sin-cere it

Is, nor how heart-felt the spi-rit,

Sen-ti-ment will not en-dear it,

What’s im-por-tant is the price

 

Hark the Her-ald Trib-une sings,

Ad-ver-tis-ing won-drous things————————-

Uh uh

Tell us to go out and  buy!

 

So let the rau-cous sleigh-bells jin-gle,   raucous=rusten,hæs

Hail our dear old friend Kriss Krin-gle,   Kriss Kringle=julemanden

Driv-ing his rein-deer a-cross the  sky.

Don’t stand un-der-neath when they fly by

Koncert i Sct. Andreas kirke den 24. november

Kirken ligger Gothersgade 148

View Larger Map

Vi regner med at øve inden, og Helle kan skaffe lokaler i Gothersgade. Et keyboard skaffes på den ene eller anden måde. Helle undersøger også muligheder for noget mad inden. Vi ved endnu ikke hvilket tidspunkt vi skal synge.

Nodeomslag: vi var nogle der talte om at købe éns nodeomslag da vi så nogle af de andre kor havde det ved koncerten i foråret. Det ser pænt ud. Altså sådan et karton- eller plastikomslag som man har noderne i mens man synger. Det kræver lidt øvelse at stå med det og organisere de trefløjede noder, så mon vi ikke skal have købt straks?
Jeg så nogle i karton til knap 6 kr. stk. hos Nørreport papirhandel. Fås i sort, rød, blå, turkisgrøn m.m.
Dem i plastik er langt dyrere.

Vi har aftalt at forsøge – Adrijana påtog sig at købe nogen til næste gang.

Dem som har When you wish upon a star, skal tage den med næste gang.
