An example of The Frank's oeuvre is this song (to the tune of Fairytale of New York)

They've got Merched y Wawr, they've got corau male voice,
They've Gwersyll yr Urdd, Russell Grant and Max Boyce,
Ond Frank mae e'n anodd i gael ty a chael gwaith,
It's not chwarae plant, you know, saving the iaith

They've got Sulwyn and Gwynfryn, Aneurin, Taliesin,
They've got Peter Huws Griffiths and Marian Wyn Jones,
If it's your dymuniad, I'll come with you cariad,
Let's get us a brochure on holiday homes

CYTGAN/CHORUS
Mae'r choirs of Wales, of hills and dales yn canu inni Frank,
It's our chance to save the language from its tranc

We chuffin' love you Wales, y glaw a'r car-boot sales,
Ac am eich croeso hael, you know you've made us smile,
Ni'n mynd i brynu ty, sy'n derbyn es-ffôr-si
A phan aiff pethau'n hard, bydd Frank a Frank ar faes y gad
