Raedwulf ADD: Alternative Gaudete lyrics/Awayday (Kipper) (26) RE: Lyr Req: Alternative Gaudete lyrics 25 Oct 21


Since we're coming towards the season, I feel I should point out a couple of things.

1) V1 "mutlio" - my Latin is non-existent, but does that mean anything? I've seen that transcription in several places. "Multio" I can believe...

2) This is absolutely not the version I know (see below). I suspect Sid (AKA Chris Sugden) updated the lyrics at some point to fit the times (more than 20 years ago, I might add; I believe the song goes back to 1985 at least)! The ending to V1 is different, the V4 above I've never heard, and I presume was dropped...

Chorus
Away day, away day, loco in transit
Omnibus, St pancreas, away day
Away day, away day, loco in transit
Omnibus, St pancreas, away day

Cleopatra virginae, terra incognito
in loco parentis Caesar multi Kama Sutra

Chorus

Troilus et Cressida, cum Homo erectus
Strangulated hernia, coitus interruptus

Chorus

Cosa Nostra damus est in video nasty
In dramatis personae My Little Pony

Chorus

Romulus et Remus in flagrante delictae
Honi soit qui mal y pense, Harry Belafonte

Chorus

Non compos mentis, continuo ad nauseam
Ad lib, et cetera, quod erat demonstrandum

(Chorus repeat)
