God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen

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.
