Thread Name: Lyr Req: Christmas Day in the Workhouse
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Christmas Day in the Workhouse
From my Grandmother - Very like the first one...
'Twas Christmas Day in the workhouse, The one day of the year. The paupers' hearts were full of joy And their bellies full of beer.
Up spoke the Workhouse Master "To all within these halls, I wish you a Merry Christmas!" And the paupers answered, "Balls."
Up spoke the Workhouse Master And said, "If you're not good I'll be a lousy rotter And stop your Christmas pud."
Up spoke the leading pauper With a face as bold as brass You can take your Christmas pudding And stick it up your ass!"
