Hello again
Here's a video of our 50th Wedding Anniversary, including a song by John and Emil which they wrote for us, chuckle! I've put the words underneath, though the actual video is missing the 1st 4 verses and the last verse. I might add that we were all slightly inebriated by this time, lol.
There are also some photos in the April Album 1 which you can get to from the 'Photos' link on the left hand side of this page.
Here's the words!:
50th Anniversary song – John and family
Dad clapped eyes on mum - She had a shapely bum!
Mum now has a chum - Dad, the naughty on.
Chorus:
50 years and still together - 50 years and it just gets better.
Bowls, bowls, bowls - and walking - bowls
And walking - bowls
Marriage, it came about - Hooray! We all shout.
Mike and Maisie now a pair - ride off in the sunset glare. (Repeat Chorus)
They had parties, and worked like crazy - The folks just said, ‘How about a baby?’
So along came Jo - as big as my big toe! (Repeat Chorus)
Off they went to Spain – to get out of the pouring rain!
It was the place to be – and there, they made me! (John) (Repeat Chorus)
Video starts here......
The small of suntan oil – made us all recoil
We head for the land downunder – where women glow and men thunder. (Repeat Chorus)
Australia don’t cut the mustard – and Spain has turned to custard!
In England we end up – and there we got stuck. (Repeat Chorus)
We escaped the big dark cloud – kids grown up and getting loud
Antiques and adventures – Thank God, don’t need no dentures! (Repeat Chorus)
Then Alex is born – all bald like she’s been shorn
More grandkids join the tribe – 1, 2 3 4 5. ......Video ends here (Repeat Chorus)
Now the time is here – to raise your glass and cheer
Maisie & Mike we celebrate – with love, we think you’re great! (Repeat Chorus)
The end.
Aaaaahhhhh! wasn't that lovely!
