Boy, What Day Is This?


When you need a Christmas carol

Rutter has them by the barrel.

Pleasant, peppy, slightly skittish,

And, of course, extremely British.

Sing Along


“On a wonderful day like today”

  Try singing some Anthony Newley,

His songs are vivacious, but they

   Are never debauched or unruly.
