Our Family Scrapbook Occasionally we get together for parties or events - and occasionally someone even remembers to bring a camera! We had a Melbourne Cup party at Andrea's house - photos coming soon! Christmas 2009 We had a little parody for Jane...it was a riot! Unfortunately no one took any photos of the yummy food! Ode to Jane (a parody of our small repertoire) By The Morningsong Choir 1. ( Sung to the tune of Ah Poor Bird) Ah poor Jane, with this lot Turn us into singers, we think not. Ah poor Jane, with this lot Turn us into singers, we think not. 2. (Sung to the tune of Kwaheri) We’re scary, we’re hairy, not ordinary Contrary and wary, not airy fairy Singing in the choir, every Friday Jane just shakes her finger & says “do it my way” 3. (Sung to the tune of La Mar) We are the Morningsong singers We come from near and far By train or taxi or ferry And some of us even by car It’s followed by lunch at the café And talking takes over from song We’ve made such wonderful friendships Best mates, we’ll all be before long 4. (Sung to the tune of Thula Mama) You are, a terrific teacher Conducting like a preacher We’ve been pleased to meet ya Singing dulcet tones are ringing Melodies we’re bringing You, your hands awringing 5. (Sung to the tune of This Old Hammer) She had black hair when we started She had black hair when we started She had black hair when we started Now she’s shades of grey, shades of grey This old choir dulled Jane’s senses This old choir dulled Jane’s senses This old choir dulled Jane’s senses Coz we’re out of tune, out of tune (sing these notes off key) Christmas singing in the Mall, '09 We decided that Christmas, for us, was purple.
