[00:00.00]I Took My Harp To A Party - Billy Cotton/His Orchestra
[00:09.86]Christmas is coming Christmas is coming
[00:12.84]Christmas is coming again
[00:15.70]But that never thrills me
[00:17.21]The thought of it chills me
[00:18.76]I tell you it fills me with pain
[00:21.69]It makes me remember a Christmas gone by
[00:24.58]When I was extremely upset
[00:27.74]A night in December an evening that I
[00:30.69]Would very much rather forget
[00:33.72]For I took me harp to a party
[00:36.78]But nobody asked me to play
[00:39.92]The others were jolly and earty
[00:43.04]But I wasn't feeling so gay
[00:46.02]They might have said play us a tune we can sing
[00:49.18]But somehow I don't think they noticed the thing
[00:52.42]I took me harp to a party
[00:55.15]But nobody asked me to play
[00:57.79]So I took the darned thing away
[01:34.10]They asked Mrs Morgan to play her mouth-organ
[01:37.33]And somebody else did a dance
[01:40.31]They let Mrs Carter perform a sonata
[01:42.95]But I wasn't given a chance
[01:46.55]A north country person called Sandy McPherson
[01:49.34]Played bagpipes and took off his coat
[01:52.50]While both the Miss Fawcetts bust
[01:54.30]Out of their corsets
[01:55.39]In trying to take a top note
[01:58.64]They sang home sweet home
[02:00.30]And The Banks of loch lomond
[02:01.83]And All the king's horses then trees
[02:04.69]While nephews and nieces kept playing their pieces
[02:07.55]And spreading their jam on the keys
[02:10.91]A daughter called Lena played her concertina
[02:13.60]We all played ridiculous games
[02:17.13]Til old Mr Dyer set his whiskers on fire
[02:19.92]And a fire engine played on the flames
