WTF? I posted a couple of kids' Christmas carol parodies earlier and they're gone! Eaten by the 'cat again!

Anyroad, here they are again:

While shepherds washed their socks by night
All seated round the tub
The Angel of the Lord came down
And gave them all a scrub

(there are lots of variations on this)

and

Good King Wenceslas looked out
Of his Morris Minor*
He bumped into a trolley bus**
And ended up in China

(ditto)

* a small British car mainly popular in the 1950s and 60s
** an electric bus powered by overhead lines, once common in UK cities
