How about a GN virtual sing a long?

Ah yes, lovely...

Po atarau, e moea iho nei
E haere ana, koe ki pämamao...

he waiata whakaaroharoha

Oh bla de oh bla da...

Now is the Hour-----Po Atarau, Maori.
I'll never forget the All Blacks singing that on the flight to Heathrow when their first match was with Wales that week of their tour.

My old man said, "Follow the van, and don't dilly dally on the way!"
Off went the van wiv me 'ome packed innit, I came behind wiv me ol' cock linnet - but I dillied and dallied, dallied and dillied, lost me way an don't know where to roam.....oh you can't trust a Special like the old time coppers, when you can't find you way 'ome.

Enjoyed that

You obviously have a better relationship with the bottle....???

'I drank some champagne from your shoe la la la,
I was drunk by the time I got through
la la la,
I didn't know when I lifted that cup,
It had taken 2 bottles to fill the thing up!'

Why do I remember these lines when I completely forgot an ex colleague's name today?

Oops....never thought of it in that context! Was just one of my favourite Tom Lehrer songs.

Oo er Katek, that’s a bit topical.

Katek that was the one I was thinking of but thought I shouldn't mention at the moment!!

Ah katek how my Dad loved singing along to that number!

“When we’re poisoning pigeons in the park”........tra la la la....

I keep your hand in mine as a precious souvenir!
(I was brought up on Tom Lehrer)

Oh how we danced on the night we were wed
We danced and we danced for we hadn't a bed

The hills are aliiiiiiive, with the sound of GNrs practising, musiiiiiiiic.
And the goats are scared......

Didn’t Sunshine Corner have a little welcome song? Something about it being ‘jolly fine’ and ‘for children under ninety nine’ ?

Now as for a song from a musical-where to start? I’ve had ‘Bui Doi’ going around my head since seeing Miss Saigon recently along with so many others!

That sounds lovely Margrithea, I don't know that one

Another one that springs to mind is 'Jesus wants me for a sunbeam'

South Pacific took over from Tom Lehrer when we were about 15! My friend and I knew every song word for word (ahh)

Bali Hai is calling me
(Well, actually it's the U3A)

Funnily enough I woke up with the hymn that the line comes from going round in my head! My friend Pauline used to sing it when we were at school, many moons ago!

Jesus bids us shine with a clear, pure light, Like a little candle burning in the night; In this world of darkness, we must shine, You in your small corner, and I in mine

This thread has absolutely made my day. The wit of you gransnetters is phenomenal!

Happy days Grandma2 we used to sing that too ‘I’m walking backwards for Christ....mas, acr...oss the Irish Sea!
Warble.

lemongrove oh the Ying Tong Song. We used to sing that with my Dad who was a great 'Goon' fan! Also 'I'm Walking Backwards for Christmas'!

Jalima I'll have to teach my DGC. They will love it.

I'm gonna wash that man right outa my hair

Happy, happy happy happy talk! Tra la la la la

South Pacific - now you're talking!

Any men around to do the deep voice in There is Nothing Like a Dame?

I tried to teach the Ying Tong Song to a bemused DGD
She did think it was quite funny though.
