Sherry Parties, reach saturation Ballroom Dancing with Jane Sonde Pens and Paper the Weather Game misses And thats why we get it wrong! We're gonna have a party tonight But those henchman, they can't dance Their lycra is too tight! Supervisors saying, their students straying Not enough work and too much beer Well all think that everyday is Christmas What a nice way to spend the year We're gonna have a party tonight All the staff with their GCMs Keep them firmly out of sight! (Last verse, sung three times) Coffee falling around around me Lets all go down to the Tuns (to the Tuns) (Three/Six/Nine) drinks later, (little/less/no) understanding Merry Christmas Everyone (x3 for last time thru) ************************************************************************* Quasi-Geostrophic Potential Vorticity (written by Len Shaffrey) Tune: Supercalifragilisiticexpialidocious (Mary Poppins je crois?) Quasi-geostrophic-potential-vorticity, Even though the sound of it is not very pretty, If you say it loud enough you'll always sound quite witty, Quasi-geostrophic-potential-vorticity. Um-diddle-diddle-um Um-diddle-eye. Um-diddle-diddle-um Um-diddle-eye. Because I was afraid to speak when I was just a lad, Me father gave me nose a tweak and told me I was bad, But then one day I learnt a word that saved me aching nose, The biggest word you ever heard and this is how it goes.. Oh..Quasi-geostrophic-potential-vorticity, Even though the sound of it is not very pretty, If you say it loud enough you'll always sound quite witty, Quasi-geostrophic-potential-vorticity. Um-diddle-diddle-um Um-diddle-eye. Um-diddle-diddle-um Um-diddle-eye. So when the cat has got your tongue there's no need for dismay, Just summon up this word and you've got a lot to say, But better use it carefully as it can change your life, One night he said it to his girl and now that girl's his wife. Oh..Quasi-geostrophic-potential-vorticity, Even though the sound of it is not very pretty, If you say it loud enough you'll always sound quite witty, Quasi-geostrophic-potential-vorticity! ********************************************************************* Now I think we have all the songs, unless anyone can pluck up some courage to write a baddie song. Now I suggest that three songs is about ideal (for us to sing, and them to listen to). What do people think? Graham
