The Ten Days of Carpmas

 

It’s Carpmas Time

Fry the fish in the frying pan

At Carpmas Time

A Cake, a pie, or a fruity flan

And at our tabe of plenty,

We can spread a smile of joy

Throw your arms around the world

At Carpmas time

Everyone’s here

Here for our drink and food

At Carpmas time

All of us in a terrific mood

There’s a salad made of potato

and a platter fulla fish

A future of health and happiness

Is this years Carpmas wish

And the Carpmas wine is opened

And the glasses all are raised

The one who makes this edible is praised

Oh, we all must eat this stupid fish

At Carpmas time

We really hope we don’t choke on a bone

With each mouth full we moan

In this we’re not alone

Do you know it’s Carpmas time at all?

Midi-music – just in case you wanna sing along 🙂

The actual Band Aid song (just incase you wanna purchase it)

 

Like attracts like.

 

I asked my friend Michelle if she would be interested in writing this year’s Carpmas Carol (I was struggling) and she jumped at the task. It took her less than 15 minutes to come up with this gem.

 

Here is the sheet music if you would like to play along (easy enough even CHARMAINE can play it). The music needs to be repeated a bit to make it work with the fourth stanza.

Lyrics are below.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Lyrics:

 

 

 

 

Hark see the carp,
golden brown carp,
all seem to say,
eat me today

Carpmas is here,
bringing good cheer,
to share the yule,
with hungry or full,

Oh how they swim,
out on a limb,
o’er rock and shale,
swishing their tail,

Gaily they move
while people prove
Carp brings good cheer,
Carpmas is here,

Merry, merry, merry, merry Carpmas,
Merry, merry, merry, merry Carptmas,
On on they wend ,
on without end,
ready and able to rest at your table
Dong Ding dong ding, dong Bong
