‘It’s CHRIIIIISTMAAAAAAAAAASS!!!, said Norman discreetly. It’s the season for mince pies and wine, must be the reason he’s feeling so fine. Apart from the chance to parody famous songs Norman love this time of year because he gets to say thank you to loads of people who have made such a difference and give them a big cheer. So, it’s jingle all the way for Caroline and Tom for running the show for another year, and all of the stuff they do in the background (CHEER); Nathan for steppinging to Christmas.. er.. stepping in to run tasks when T&C aren’t around(CHEER); Chris and Jeff for ferrying waifs and strays to the task (CHEER); Colin for scribing and illuminating the exploits of BCV on the website’s digital parchment; Lynn and Trish for catering the resi (CHEER). The BIGGEST CHEER goes to all of our volunteers who give up their time to try to make the world a better place for wildlife and humans. BIG CHEEEEEER!!!
So with no more ado, here’s some songs for you.
BCV is Going on Task
You better dress warm,
You better stay dry,
Better wear hats,
I’m telling you why:
BCV is goin’ on task,
BCV is goin’ on task,
B-C-V is go-in’ on ta-sk.
Tom’s got us some work,
We’re doing it twice,
Out in the snow,
The day will be nice.
BCV is goin’ on task,
BCV is goin’ on task,
B-C-V is go-in’ on task.
He sees you when you’re working,
He knows where there’s a task,
He knows if you’ve done bad or good,
So be good for goodness sake.
You better wear boots,
You better dress dry,
Better wear gloves,
I’m telling you why:
BCV is goin’ on task,
BCV is goin’ on task,
B-C-V is go-in’ on task.
Norman’s Christmas Jingle
Dashing through the snow,
Trying to ‘walk this way’
O’er the fields we go,
Skipping all the day.
Shiny bill hooks ring,
Making pleaches right..
Oh! What fun it is to sing,
A hedgerow song aw’right!
Jingle newts, jingle newts,
Jingle all Sunday.
Oh! what fun it is to lay,
A hedge on New Year’s Day.
Oh Jingle newts, jingle newts,
Jingle all the day.
Oh! what fun it is to plant,
A hedge the Bolton way.
Walking ‘cross the mud,
Rain is in the sky.
Looking for the pub,
Six miles till we’re dry.
Wellies, hats and gloves,
Keeping workers warm.
Oh! What fun it is to sing,
A task day song de-dum!
Oh Jingle newts, jingle newts,
Jingle all the day.
Oh! what fun it is to plant,
A hedge the Bolton way.
The BCV Christmas Song
Rhodys burning on an open fire,
Cold mud dripping from your nose,
Tom & Caroline working without tire,
And Andrew dressed in Sunday clothes.
Everybody knows a bow saw and a bill hook so,
Help to make the task day right.
Craig with his cheeks all aglow,
Won’t find it hard to sleep tonight.
Hedge laying season’s on its way;
Tom has saws and loppers in his ‘sleigh’.
And every volunteer will try,
To see if wildlife they can spy.
And so we’re offering these outdoor days,
To kids from eight to eighty-two,
Although its been said many times, many ways,
A very BCV Christmas to you.
All the best to everyone. Still not too good seen doc. hope to bee ok New Year Carol
Merry Christmas to you as well Carol
Love it. Looking forward to hearing you sing them on next task Colin!
