I Took My Harp To A Party - Billy Cotton & His Band
Christmas is coming Christmas is coming
Christmas is coming again
But that never thrills me
The thought of it chills me
I tell you it fills me with pain
It makes me remember a Christmas gone by
When I was extremely upset
A night in December an evening that I
Would very much rather forget
For I took me harp to a party
But nobody asked me to play
The others were jolly and earty
But I wasn't feeling so gay
They might have said play us a tune we can sing
But somehow I don't think they noticed the thing
I took me harp to a party
But nobody asked me to play
So I took the darned thing away
They asked Mrs Morgan to play her mouth-organ
And somebody else did a dance
They let Mrs Carter perform a sonata
But I wasn't given a chance
A north country person called Sandy McPherson
Played bagpipes and took off his coat
While both the Miss Fawcetts bust
Out of their corsets
In trying to take a top note
They sang home sweet home
And The Banks of loch lomond
And All the king's horses then trees
While nephews and nieces kept playing their pieces
And spreading their jam on the keys
A daughter called Lena played her concertina
We all played ridiculous games
Til old Mr Dyer set his whiskers on fire
And a fire engine played on the flames
