Anyone fancy a sing song....

[Dave Hancock]

Just in case anyone wants a wee bit of practice for tomorrow I thought I'd oblige....

Once a jolly swagman
Camped by a billabong,
Under the shade
Of a coolibah tree,
And he sang as he watched
And waited 'til his billy boiled
"You'll come a-waltzing,
Matilda, with me"

Waltzing Matilda,
Waltzing Matilda
You'll come a-waltzing,
Matilda, with me
And he sang as he watched
And waited 'til his billy boiled,
"You'll come a-waltzing,
Matilda, with me"

Down came a jumbuck
To drink at the billabong,
Up jumped the swagman
And grabbed him with glee,
And he sang as he stowed
That jumbuck in his tucker bag,
"You'll come a-waltzing,
Matilda, with me"

Waltzing Matilda,
Waltzing Matilda
You'll come a-waltzing,
Matilda, with me
And he sang as he watched
And waited 'til his billy boiled,
"You'll come a-waltzing,
Matilda, with me."

Down rode the squatter,
Mounted on his thoroughbred,
Up came the troopers,
One, two, three,
"Where's that jolly jumbuck
You've got in your tucker bag?
You'll come a-waltzing,
Matilda, with me"

Waltzing Matilda,
Waltzing Matilda
You'll come a-waltzing,
Matilda, with me
And he sang as he watched
And waited 'til his billy boiled,
"You'll come a-waltzing,
Matilda, with me."

Up jumped the swagman,
Sprang into the billabong,
"You'll never catch me
Alive," said he,
And his ghost may be heard
As you pass by the billabong,
You'll come a-waltzing,
Matilda, with me.

Waltzing Matilda,
Waltzing Matilda
You'll come a-waltzing,
Matilda, with me
And he sang as he watched
And waited 'til his billy boiled,
"You'll come a-waltzing,
Matilda, with me."

There's an old Australian stockman lying dying
And he gets himself up onto one elbow
And he turns to his mates who are gathered around
And he says:

Watch me wallabies feed, mate
Watch me wallabies feed
They're a dangerous breed, mate
So watch me wallabies feed

All together now
Tie me Kangaroo Down Sport,
Tie me Kangaroo Down Sport,
Tie me Kangaroo Down Sport,
Tie me Kangaroo Down.

Keep me cockatoo cool, Kool
Keep me cockatoo cool
Don't go away from the fool, Kool
Just keep me cockatoo cool

All together now
Tie me Kangaroo Down Sport,
Tie me Kangaroo Down Sport,
Tie me Kangaroo Down Sport,
Tie me Kangaroo Down.

And take me koala back, Jack
Take me koala back
He lives somewhere out on the track, Mack
So take me koala back

All together now
Tie me Kangaroo Down Sport,
Tie me Kangaroo Down Sport,
Tie me Kangaroo Down Sport,
Tie me Kangaroo Down.

Let me aboes go loose, Lou
Let me aboes go loose
They're of no further use, Lou
So let me aboes go loose

All together now
Tie me Kangaroo Down Sport,
Tie me Kangaroo Down Sport,
Tie me Kangaroo Down Sport,
Tie me Kangaroo Down.

And mind me platypus duck, Bill
Mind me platypus duck
Oh, don't let him go running amuck, Bill
Just mind me platypus duck

All together now
Tie me Kangaroo Down Sport,
Tie me Kangaroo Down Sport,
Tie me Kangaroo Down Sport,
Tie me Kangaroo Down.

Play your didgeridoo, Blue
Play your didgeridoo
Oh, like keep playing till I shoot through, Blue
Play your didgeridoo

All together now
Tie me Kangaroo Down Sport,
Tie me Kangaroo Down Sport,
Tie me Kangaroo Down Sport,
Tie me Kangaroo Down.

Tan me hide when I'm dead, Fred
Tan me hide when I'm dead
So we tanned his hide when he died, Clyde
And that's it hanging on the shed

All together now
Tie me Kangaroo Down Sport,
Tie me Kangaroo Down Sport,
Tie me Kangaroo Down Sport,
Tie me Kangaroo Down.

Won't be the Webb Ellis trophy anyhow :D

You know darlin' sure is fun

All the best moves we have done
Cerocing at the party tonight

Everyboy's happy (Boom, Boom)
Everybody's having fun
Everybody's dancing (Yesss!)
Now the music has begun

Thursday, Friday, the weekends

Cerocing at the party tonight

Everyboy's happy (Boom, Boom)
Everybody's having fun
Everybody's dancing (Yesss!)

"No Entry" usually means "Something Interesting", so I just blunder in. "Sing-song" is a big enough crack for me to drive a bus through.

Before you get around to confessing that you have missed the point of the form being about dance :D there is time for me to slip one more in.



I'm a lean, mean Ceroc machine
(I've paid my money, I can dream)
I know the moves, I know the scene
I'm the King, won't you be my Queen?

I'm Cerocing lada dada da di dada
I'm Cerocing lada dada da di dada
I'm Cerocing and a rollin' all night long

Do the arm jive, push spin, the first move too
just dance like the teacher tell you to
just follow me baby and before I'm through
you'll be Cerocing like all the crew

You're Cerocing lada dada da di dada
You're Cerocing lada dada da di dada
You're Cerocing and a rollin' all night long

We do our lesson and for a while
we dance for joy doing our freestyle
we learn some more of the tricky stuff
then we dance and we dance 'til we've had enough

We're Cerocing lada dada da di dada
We're Cerocing lada dada da di dada
We're Cerocing and a rollin' all night long

While I quite like your songs Big D, can you enlighten us as to what tunes they should go with, and you do seem to have slightly missed the original theme.

I could return to the original theme with a classic from 1992:-

Who put the ball in the English net
Thomas
Thomas

Who put the ball in the English net
Thomas
Thomas Brolin

Tommy, Tommy Brolin
Tommy, Tommy Brolin

Who put the ball in the English net
Tommy, Tommy Brolin


I wonder whom we shall be singing about tomorrow morning???

Thanks, but for that trick I need musicians.

Oh, gosh, was it about rugby? :really: :blush:

I don't miss much, especially opportunities. :wink:

As for who they will be talking about tommorrow my only bit of knowledge about rugby internationalists is trying to push start Don Glanville by Bromley Stn. He waited until I was at the point of collapse before opening the bonnet and finding that the distributor cap had come off. Perhaps that is a tad out of date?

This isn't helping, is it?

Something to get 15 All Blacks to a pub so they can watch it on tellie? :devil:

ps half an hour to go - reports say Sydney bookies are giving England slightly better odds:really:

[bigdjiver]

If I have seemed less than gracious it is because an Aussie songwriter has been filling my inbox with these:
-----
Saddam records one of his rants and to prove it's authenticity and currentness he adds I watched England play rugby last night and it was very boring.

The CIA have issued a statement saying this proves nothing as the tape could have been made anytime in the last five years.

-------

Snow white is worried about the Dwarves as they haven't come home. So she goes off to the mine to see what's happening there has been a cave in so she shouts down "are you all right" The reply comes back "Yes" can you go to the bookie and put a hundred on England to win the world cup"

Snow White says "Oh well at least Dopey is still alive".

[bigdjiver]

It's lonesome away from your kindred and all
By the campfires of night where the wild dingos call
But there's nothing more lonesome, maddening or drear
Than to stand at the bar of a pub with no beer

The publican's anxious for the quota to come
And there's a far away look on the face of the bum
The maid's gone all cranky and the cook's getting queer
What a terrible place is a pub with no beer

The stockman drives up covered in dust and flies
Pulls a wad from his coat and rubs the sweat from his eye
But when he is told he says what's this I hear
I've trudged fifty five miles to a pub with no beer

There's a dog on the veranda, for his master he waits
But the boss is inside drinking wine with his mates
He hurries for cover and cringes in fear
It's no place for a dog in a pub with no beer

Billy the blacksmith, the first time in his life
He's gone home cold sober to his darling wife
He walked in the kitchen, she says you're home early my dear
Then he breaks down and tells her the pub's got no beer.

[Jon L]

:grin: A song for today from Freddie Mercury, Roger Taylor, Brian May and John Deacon.......

I've paid my dues
Time after Time
I did my sentence, but committed no crime
and bad mistakes I've made a few
I have had my (unknown word) and kicked in my face
but I have come through..... and we can go and on and on and on....

Chorus:
We... are the Champions my friends......
And we'll keep on fighting to the end...
WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS.... WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS....
No time for losers
Cos we are the champions
Of the World

I've taken my bows
and my curtain calls
You brought me fame fortune and everything that goes with it, I thank you all.
But it's been no bed of roses
No pleasure cruise
I consider a challenge before the human race and I aint gonna lose

Chorus:
We... are the Champions my friends......
And we'll keep on fighting to the end...
WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS.... WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS....
No time for losers
Cos we are the champions

We... are the Champions my friends......
And we'll keep on fighting to the end...
AHH WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS.... WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS....
No time for losers
Cos WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS
OF THE WORLD.......


ENGLAND WORLD CUP RUGBY 2003

[bigdjiver]

it is "share of sand kicked in my face"

[Chris]

I thought this piece by an Aussie reporter in the London based Daily Telegraph (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/opinion/main.jhtml?xml=/opinion/2003/11/21/do2101.xml) was a nice antidote to the sometimes perceived jingo-ism around the World Cup . . .

"Intellectually, in 2003, of course I don't have any genuine venom against the idea of England winning at least some kind of trophy for a nice change - just not this time. And in any case, all the banter is so enjoyable that it's hard to keep the spite going, and I suspect many English supporters feel the same. Four years ago, a couple of Australians paraded our national flag proudly in front of the Barmy Army at the Sydney stadium, until 1,000 Poms began singing (to the tune of Bread of Heaven)... "Get your **** stars off our flag!"

"When I recounted that episode in the Sydney Morning Herald, a letter to the editor from an Englishman by the name of Daniel Joe Bonington appeared soon afterwards, recounting his experience at the Sydney Olympic Games. "Responding to the jingoistic fervour that gripped the nation, I was waving my Union Jack merrily (if in vain; Britain won no golds that night). An Aussie bloke behind me tapped me on the shoulder and with a smile said, 'Hey mate, couldn't you afford the rest of the flag?' "

"See? All good fun, and no hard feelings at all. So may the best team win tomorrow in the World Cup Final, and may Martin Johnson's men soon recover from the bitter disappointment they will feel when it's over. "

LOL . . .
