I Took My Harp To A Party - Gracie Fields[00:00:00]
Christmas is coming Christmas is coming[00:00:04]
Christmas is coming again[00:00:08]
But that never thrills me[00:00:11]
The thought of it chills me[00:00:13]
I tell you it fills me with pain[00:00:15]
It makes me remember a Christmas gone by[00:00:19]
When I was extremely upset[00:00:22]
A night in December an evening that I[00:00:26]
Would very much rather forget[00:00:29]
For I took me harp to a party[00:00:34]
But nobody asked me to play[00:00:38]
The others were jolly and earty[00:00:41]
But I wasn't feeling so gay[00:00:45]
They might have said play us a tune we can sing[00:00:49]
But somehow I don't think they noticed the thing[00:00:52]
I took me harp to a party[00:00:56]
But nobody asked me to play[00:01:00]
So I took the darned thing away[00:01:04]
They asked Mrs Morgan to play her mouth-organ[00:01:09]
And somebody else did a dance[00:01:13]
They let Mrs Carter perform a sonata[00:01:17]
But I wasn't given a chance[00:01:21]
A north country person called Sandy McPherson[00:01:24]
Played bagpipes and took off his coat[00:01:28]
While both the Miss Fawcetts bust[00:01:32]
Out of their corsets[00:01:34]
In trying to take a top note[00:01:36]
But I took me harp to a party[00:01:41]
Nobody asked me to play[00:01:45]
The others were jolly and earty[00:01:49]
But I wasn't feeling so gay[00:01:53]
I felt so ashamed at not striking a note[00:01:57]
That I tried to hide the thing under me coat[00:02:00]
I took me harp to a party[00:02:04]
But nobody asked me to play[00:02:08]
So I took the darned thing away[00:02:12]
They sang home sweet home[00:02:17]
And The Banks of loch lomond[00:02:19]
And All the king's horses then trees[00:02:21]
While nephews and nieces kept playing their pieces[00:02:25]
And spreading their jam on the keys[00:02:29]
A daughter called Lena played her concertina[00:02:33]
We all played ridiculous games[00:02:36]
Til old Mr Dyer set his whiskers on fire[00:02:41]
And a fire engine played on the flames[00:02:45]
But I took me harp to a party[00:02:49]
But nobody asked me to play[00:02:53]
So I took the darned thing away[00:02:56]
