Rule, Britannia
The sea's ours! Ever since old Duke Welling-
ton won it with cannon and yelling;
and because of this Navy
no Brit is a slave (e-
ven though we loved buying and selling).
All Things Bright and Beautiful
All these things that are pretty and shiny
(Plus the ones that are shitty and whiney),
They were made by the same
Divine chap, what's-his-name,
From blue whales to ... some critter real tiny.
Frère Jacques
Hey Jacques, are you really still snoozing?
That's some funny sleep schedule you're choosing.
The church bells are ringing
As loud as I'm singing!
Let me guess---you were out all night boozing?
Never Gonna Give You Up
Disappoint you? As if! Wouldn't dare---
In addition, I'll hereby declare
That I'd die ere abandon
Or lay a cross hand on
You, fib, or run off who-knows where.
Singin' in the Rain
Don't you love when it pours cats and dogs
And walks turn to sad, sodden slogs?
I fold up my umbrella,
Sing like some mad fella,
Till my boots turn to two tiny bogs.
Maria
I just met a girl with a name
Was it Mary?---well, not quite the same---
But I'll call it a song
And a shout and a gong
To disguise that's it's really quite tame.
She'll Be Coming 'round the Mountain
When she rounds the last crag of that peak
In red pajamas she's worn for a week
(And it's hardly a quandary
She couldn't do laundry)
Just don't be surprised if they reek.
99 Bottles of Beer
Ninety-nine is the number I clocked
And I don't even think the bar's locked.
One by one we'll exhaust them
Who cares what it cost them?
Don't you think that this joint's overstocked?
