    Verse 1
    It 
    was 
    back 

    in 
    the 
    bistro 
    in 
    the 
    days 
    of 
    yore 

    Where 
    I 
    washed 
    up 
    dishes 

    and 
    I 
    mopped 
    the 
    floor 

    There 
    was 

    Christmas 
    drizzle, 
    nearly 
    never 
    snow 

    There 
    was 

    Slade 
    and 

    Wizard 
    on 
    the 
    radio 

    And 
    the 
    chef 
    was 

    Mar
    cus, 
    who 
    was 
    my 
    good 
    mate 

    While 
    the 
    downstairs 
    waitress 

    was 
    a 
    girl 
    cold 
    cased 

    And 
    we 
    smoked 
    our 
    rollies 

    by 
    the 
    backdoor 
    bin 

    As 
    the 
    trays 
    went 
    out 
    and 

    then 
    the 
    trays 
    came 
    in 

    Merry 

    Christmas 
    to 
    you 
    one 
    and 
    all, 

    now 
    onward 
    sail 

    This 
    is 
    just 
    another 
    humble 

    Pidgeon 

    Potter's 
    tale 

    Now 
    in 
    those 
    dark 
    days 
    and 

    even 
    darker 
    nights 

    There 
    was 
    much 
    rejoicing, 

    there 
    were 
    festive 
    fights 

    But 
    the 
    thing 
    I 
    best 
    recall 

    was 
    what 
    a 
    laugh 

    That 
    we 
    had 
    with 
    front 
    of 

    house 
    and 
    kitchen 
    staff 

    There 
    were 
    some 
    disaster
    s, 

    there 
    were 
    sometimes 
    tears 

    But 
    the 
    roar 
    of 

    Christmas 
    echoes 
    down 
    the 
    years 

    With 
    the 
    office 
    parties 
    and 

    the 
    restaurant 
    full 

    The 
    bosses 
    and 
    the 

    secretaries 
    on 
    the 
    ball 

    Merry 

    Christmas 
    to 
    you 
    boys 
    and 
    girls, 

    now 
    drink 
    your 
    ale 

    This 
    is 
    just 
    a 
    humble 

    Es
    sex 
    kitchen 
    porter's 

    tale 


    Mean
    while 
    in

    Decem
    ber 
    chill, 

    a 
    priest 
    walks 
    briskly 
    up

    East 

    Hill 

    And 
    he 
    opens 
    up 
    the 
    doors 
    of 

    St. 

    James 
    the 

    Great 

    And 
    the 
    bells 
    ring 

    Christ
    mas 

    Day 



    We 
    were 
    all 
    much 
    younger 
    than 
    us, 

    you 
    may 
    be 

    With 
    a 

    Christmas 
    crush 
    you 
    have 
    a 
    secret 

    Which 
    can 
    never 
    happen 
    if 

    the 
    parts 
    don't 
    fit 

    Trust 
    me 
    now, 
    you'll 
    all 
    get 
    over 
    it 

    For 
    the 
    buff 
    young 
    pot
    ters 

    all 
    become 
    old 
    men 

    And 
    the 
    girls 
    they 
    fancy 

    will 
    be 
    old 
    as 
    them 

    With 
    their 
    wildflower 
    summers 

    underneath 
    the 
    plough 

    Learn 
    to 
    re
    cognise 
    your 

    good 
    times 
    now 

    Merry 

    Christmas 
    boys 
    and 
    girls 

    Don't 
    let 
    that 
    love 
    -like 
    fail 

    This 
    is 
    just 
    another 
    humble 
    kitchen 
    potter's

      Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      "

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
