The Ten Days of Carpmas

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
