Thread Name: songs about the Three Kings
Subject: RE: wanted: songs about the Three Kings
We Three Kings of Leicester Square
Selling ladies' underwear
How fantastic
No elastic
7/6 a pair.

For readers under the age of 50 it's pronounced Seven and Six, equates to 37.5 pence, and was a lot of money for underwear in those days. You could probably get a pair filled for not much more.

Let us not be so obsessed with the three kings that we forget the three wise women:
Three wise women went down to Bethlehem (tris)
To see the baby king.

The first wise woman took two gross of Pampers Dry

The second wise woman too cotton buds and baby wipes

The third wise woman took a voucher from Mothercare

The first wise woman said 'What bloody use is Frankinsesne?'

The second wise woman said 'Cowsheds aren't hygenical'.

The third wise woman said 'Joseph, get up off your arse' etc
