He's for everyone of us

Stand for everyone of us

He'll save with a mighty hand

Every man every woman

Every child - with a mighty flash

 

Flash!

Here's a sing along I learnt as a kid, I was told it was from the charabanc trips to the seaside. ....

There's some fine views in Sheffield, the finest of them all.

Stands at the corner of Surrey street, it is the new town hall.

The people passing by, all stand and cast their eye.

It's not the clock they're looking at it's Vulcan and his cockadoodledoo.

It's nowt to do wi you, leave it alone play wi your own cockadoodledoo.

 

There was another that I just can't remember, maybe the little that I can will bring it to other's mind.

The last word was repeated three times, two halves.

There were three doctors, one called Archibald, one called Hitchcock. I can't remember the third doctor's name.

We all went on a charabanc, chara chara chara , banc banc, banc.

The doctor's name was Archibald, Archi Archi, Archi, bald, bald, bald.

................................Hitchcock, Hitchi, Hitchi, Hitchi, ****, ****, ****.

(It continued to)

We all went over a precipice, preci, preci, preci, pice, pice, pice.

As far as I know these songs were only known in my immediate family, so it would be nice to know if others have heard them.

The second one sounds like "There were three Jews from Jerusalem". The lyrics vary, but one version can be seen here..:)

Thanks Hillsbro maybe it was the same one or a slight variant, the link contains other versus that we used to sing.

We three kings of Orient are

One in a bus and one in a car

One on a scooter blowing his hooter

Following yonder star

While Shepherds washed their socks by night,

All seated round the tub,

An Angel of the the Lord came down,

And gave their socks a scrub.

All seated in the snow

The angel of the lord came down

And said "use new OMO"
