Happy New Year, happy Christmas

Happy Christmas, happy New Year
All the best to you from here

Happy Christmas, happy New Year
From there to here
Happy New Year, happy New Year

When I get to the bottom
I go back to the top of the slide
Where I stop, and I turn, and I go for a ride
Till I get to the bottom and I see you again

: Once upon a time
There were two balloons called
Jock and Yono they were strictly in love
Bound to happen in a million years they
Were together, man unfortunatimetable
They seemed to have previous experience which
Kept calling them one way or another
(you know how it is) but they battled on
Against overwhelming oddities
Including some of there beast
Friends being in love
They cloong together even more
Man but some of the
Poisoness monsters of outrated
Buslodedapethrowers did stick slightly
And they occasionally had to resort to
The dry cleaners luckily
This did not kill them and
They weren't banned form the
Olympic Games they lived
Hopefully ever after and who could blame them

Well, here we are again
Another fab Christmas christmas
Time is here again ain't been
Around since last year
And we'd like to take this opportunity
All the way from
America, to say happy Christmas
To you our faithful
Beloved fans all over the world
Who have made our life
Worth living and over here I
Have Mr malcolm Evans who
Through thick and thin
Would surely like to say a word
Of greeting at this festive occasion
Merry Christmas, children everywhere!

At the first stroke, it will be

Ringo Starr thank you! "Good evening"
"Hello me dear i didn't know you were coming"
"I'm not surprised"
"Well, I am! Certainly am!"
"I would have thought so myself"
"Well, if you ask me, I think it's insane"
"Occasionally"
"Yes, me, too twice a week sometimes"
"Fourteen and six"
"Nineteen and five to save me
If you don't mind" "Yes, I know"
"Don't you say yes to me! I'm telling you!"
"This is a private line, you know"
"Private line? I've been on this
Line for two years"

Well, it's my proud pleasure tonight
To introduce one of
The most versatile performers in
Our career and he's come all the way from
Stokely Carmichel's -on-Sea
And I hope you're going to like
Him let's give him a big hand … (YAY!)

Happy New Year, happy Christmas
Happy Easter, happy autumn
Happy Michelmas, everybody
Happy Christmas, everybody to you

Once upon a pool table there
Lived a short haired butcher's boy
By the way of Ostergrad it comes in
Sentences poolararrowic Airport her father
Was in a long story cut short in the
Middle of his life sentence
We're indebted to the Colloquial
Office for it's immediate
Disposal of her Horowitz, including
I might add, hoc
Virtallo a totem on the other handbag
I mean to say
L'amoure ne soome tu joure realistic
Strictly speaking for this film is about an
Hourglass houseboat the full
Meaning of Winchester Cathedral
Defies description their
Loss was our Gainsborough nil

The sound of a manservantile
Defectively lasting barred
Up in a love-dizzy gar-di-dell time
How close can you
Gettysburg and ever underly council
Ya originally a birdbath feeling -

Cut!
We have a special guest here this evening, Mr
Tiny Tim i'd like to ask him
To say a few words

Now … exactly the way I did it then

He's a, ooh, real nowhere man
Living in his nowhere land
Making all his nowhere plans for nobody

Hasn't got a point of view
Knows not where he's going to
Isn't he a bit like you and me?

Nowhere man, Don't worry
Take your time, don't hurry
Nowhere man, the world's at your command, ooh

He's a, huh, huh, real nowhere man
Living in his nowhere land
Making all his nowhere plans for nobody, ooh
Ooh

Thank you, Tiny thank you and God bless you
Tiny
