25 Dec 16 - 02:32 PM (#3828686) Subject: RE: BBC - Carols Quiz From: GUEST,Senoufou I stupidly counted a 'fa' as a 'la' and got the 'Deck The Halls' one wrong. And had no idea that there is more to 'Jingle Bells' than I thought. So 10 out of 12. |

25 Dec 16 - 07:57 PM (#3828717) Subject: RE: BBC - Carols Quiz From: GUEST Yes, Eliza, "Jingle Bells" has an additional verse about going for a sleigh ride: "The horse was lean and lank / Misfortune seemed his lot." I have heard this verse sung and recorded, but not all that often; it is just as often that the song is presented without that additional verse. |
