Area Representative Golf Juliet Tango Posted December 8, 2007 Author Area Representative Share Posted December 8, 2007 So, we start from a silent shed and a small tenor voice starts:Once it was that Colin’s garage Was an empty stable block There he built some little sports cars Working all around the clock Each one was a little sports car They were driven near and far.and everyone then joins in:-He went on from Hornsey to Hethel His race cars held us in thrall Drivers used the private test-track And Jim Clark was best of all Driving fast and never slowly Committed to the corner wholly.here endeth the first carol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Area Representative Golf Juliet Tango Posted December 8, 2007 Author Area Representative Share Posted December 8, 2007 An ever popular carol is thirdOh little town of Caterham How still we see thee lie Then through thy deep but disturbed sleep The little cars drive by And through thy dark streets shineth The glare of headlights bright The girls and boys have hopes and joys For the meet is here tonight For the Club are out together And gathered in the mist While mortals sleep, the drivers keep Their early evening tryst We catch the scent of petrol As great warm engines sing So join with us, and drive with us And blat the next morning.Here endeth the third carol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Area Representative Golf Juliet Tango Posted December 12, 2007 Author Area Representative Share Posted December 12, 2007 Jenny If you can make me half as rich as JK Rowling, then yes please! But glad you enjoyed them. Two of the sets of lyrics just kumped into my head last year (at a carol service) - the less good ones needed thought and don't work quite as well.

Area Representative Golf Juliet Tango Posted December 22, 2008 Author Area Representative Share Posted December 22, 2008 less inspired this year:-While drivers washed their cars one day Up to their knees in suds The pressure washer hose came off And water splashed in floods“Oh dear” he said, for mighty force Had drenched the car’s exhaust “The bad news is that rain is due Followed by a hard frost”“To you in London Town this night It will freeze down So don’t drive out tomorrow morn As you will slide around.”All glory be to sticky tyres And balance of the car Good grip henceforth ‘twixt road and car So go out and drive afar Democratic dissent is not disloyalty, it is a positive civic duty.

sjmmarsh Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Not the road to hell.. We want Heaven: I see a turning wheel On a dusty track Caught in the void and empty space In between there and back And the paradise of going somewhere That's still so far away Happy, boy you bet I am Holding on to this smile for just as long as I can Heaven It's all bright in front And it's all dark behind Living for the now that's in between the bridges and the signs And getting there is still a long long way to go While the others dream a wish This is everything I officially need to know Happy, boy you bet I am Holding on to this smile for just as long as I can heaven Edited by - sjmmarsh on 26 Oct 2012 22:00:02 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
