[edit] Christmas songs; Verses & Chorus
What kind of Christmas song do you think this is?? Studying the music, the verse is the sad part to listen to and the chorus is the happy part. Anyone know why this is true?? Any other Christmas songs that this can be said about?? Georgia guy 17:04, 26 Mar 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Lyrics
Anyone know where I can get the complete lyrics for "We three Kings of Orient are; Tried to smoke a rubber cigar; It was loaded, it exploded; We two Kings..."? I heard Peter Schickely perform it on the radio, but couldn't remember all the lyrics. - Bellatrix L. 02:23, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

The two alternatives that were in common usage when I was in school were
We three kings of Leicester Square
Selling ladies underwear
So fantastic, no elastic
Only tuppence a pair
and
We four Beatles of Liverpool are,
Paul in a taxi, John in a car,
George on a scooter, beeping his hooter,
Following Ringo Star.
My understanding is that both the above were 'national' versions, whereas the "Hamilton Square" version in the article would have been strictly regional, as while most Brits would have known of Leicester Square, few outside Liverpool would know of Hamilton Square.
