I've mentioned that Ed and I are going to be King and Queen of the Christmas Festival at Wonder Valley for four performances this year. Tonight is our first show. And lest you think that this is serious theatre....here are the rewritten words to the opening song (yes, I've changed the words to all of my songs, but you only have to read this one). It's even got a Three Stooges word in it...see if you can find it.
(sung to the tune of, you guessed it, God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen)
God rest ye merry, Gentlemen,
And Ladies here today,
We’ve got a pretty tale to tell
And instruments to play
We’ve even got a magic man
His talents to display
O talents of wonder to deploy,
His name is Roy,
O talents of wonder to deploy.
The cook and all the kitchen maids
Have slaved since Sunday morn
To steam and pluck and roast the duck
And shuck a ton of corn
To give you less than all their best
They each would surely scorn
O a dinner of wonder to indulge
You’re gonna bulge
O a dinner of wonder to indulge
King Whoozitz dressed in all his best
But I’m afraid you’ll find
His temper is a bit unsure
Around this Christmas time.
But look, here comes the housekeeper,
Perhaps she will exploin
O we all have to wonder why he’s mad,
Has he been bad?
O we wonder why the King and Queen are sad.
