[NitaBcruising]

Very, very good, Caroline and Ron!!!! :) Thanks for making the effort!

[NitaBcruising]

Okay, I can't take credit for this, it was an email! But, what a scream! :D

> TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS ~ SENIORS STYLE

>

> 'Twas the night before Christmas at Rock-Away Rest, And all of us

seniors were looking our best. Our glasses, how sparkly, our wrinkles, how

merry: The punchbowl held prune juice plus three drops of sherry. A

bedsock

was taped to each walker, in hope that Santa would bring us soft candy and

soap.

>

>

> We surely were lucky to be there with friends. Secure in this

residence

and in our Depends. Our grandkids had sent us some Christmassy crafts,

Like

angels in snowsuits and penguins on rafts.

>

> The dental assistant had borrowed our teeth, And from them she'd

crafted

a holiday wreath The bed pans, so shiny, all stood in a row, Reflecting

our

candles' magnificent glow. Our supper so festive -- the joy wouldn't stop,

Was creamy warm oatmeal with sprinkles on top. Our salad was Jell-O, so

jiggly and great, Ten puree of fruitcake was spooned on each plate.

>

> The social director then had us play games, Like "Where Are You

Living?"

and "What Are Your Names?" Old Grandfather Looper was feeling his oats,

Proclaiming that reindeer were nothing but goats. Our resident wand'rer

was

tied to her chair, In hopes that at bedtime she still would be there.

>

> Security lights on the new fallen snow made outdoors seem noon to the

old folks below. Then out on the porch there arose quite a clatter (But

we

are so deaf that it just didn't matter).

>

> A strange little fellow flew in through the door, Then tripped on the

sill and fell flat on the floor. 'Twas just our director, all togged out

in

red. He jiggled and chuckled and patted each head. We knew from the way

that

he strutted and jived, Our social-security checks had arrived. We sang --

how we sang -- in our monotone croak, Till the clock tinkled out its soft

eight p.m. stroke.

>

> And soon we were snuggling deep in our beds, While nurses distributed

nocturnal meds.

>

> And so ends our Christmas at Rock-Away Rest. Soon you'll be with us;

we

wish you the best

Just noticed topic got moved back from the Floataway Lounge. Maybe because it's very entertaining? ;) Could be an entertaining new on-board game: Passengers offer their versions of songs that would be voted on by whomever is in the lounge at the time.

[ourlol]

Okay, Okay... I said I wouldn't do any more... and yes, I know this isn't a Christmas song (more something that might be played at a Christmas party) but here is my version of Y.M.C.A.!!

 

Cruisers, there’s no need for a frown,

I said, cruisers, it’s got Dolby surround

I said, cruisers, ‘cause you’d better sit down

There’s no need to be so snappy

 

Cruisers, there’s a place you can go

I said, cruisers, you gotta go with the flow

You can stay here, and I’m sure you will find

We have no rock walls to climb

 

It’s fun to sing-along to M.U.T.S.

It’s fun to sing-along to M.U.T.S.

 

They have everything, for us all to enjoy,

Princess bought itself a brand new toy...

 

It’s fun to sing-along to M.U.T.S.

It’s fun to sing-along to M.U.T.S.

 

You can get some popcorn; have a drink or two,

You probably won’t have to queue …

 

Cruisers, there is no entrance fee!

I said, cruisers, we are lost out at sea

I said, cruisers, you had better not scream

Cos you’ve got to know this one thing!

 

Princess did it all by itself

I said, Princess, thought it was left on the shelf

So, just go there, to the M.U.T.S.

Watch great movies to excess?

 

It’s fun to sing-along to M.U.T.S.

ROFLMAO!!! That's the best yet! :) :D :)

[daWoods]

Despite the address, is it possible ourlol is really Weird Al Yankovic? :D

[NitaBcruising]

OMGosh, toooooo funny! :D Keep 'em coming!

[loralei]

to the tune of "Let it Snow"

 

The weather outside is frightful

And a cruise would be delightful

But it's not quite time to go

So let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow!

 

It doesn't show signs of stopping

To the port we must be hopping

The wind it just wants to blow.

Let us Go! Let us Go! Let us Go!

 

When we finally kiss goodnight

On the ship we will be transformed.

And in the sun shining oh so bright

All of the days will be warm.

 

The fire is slowly dying

And my eyes I must be drying,

For we've got 3 months to go...

Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!

[loralei]

I'm in California and it's a beautiful day. No snow in sight. But I'm not cruising until April.

[regnig]

Welcome loralei (only 3 posts) and many thanks for your song!

[Guest Host Tink]

Oh My Ourlol, this was terrific, I'm going to be laughing all night!!!

[Guest Host Tink]

When I get into my store tomorrow where my printer is hooked up, I'm going to get started on setting all of these up in a Word Doc and get them published...somehow. They are too good not to have in print. I'm going to have the authors just listed as "The Members of Cruise Critic's Princess Cruise Board" and will send a copy to Princess to see if they would like to carry them on their vessels with the proceeds going to a charity. If you have a suggestion for a charity, email me at <bmvdowningtown@aol.com> and tell me what charity and why, I'll pick the most popular vote. Let's vote through the end of the year, and after January 1st I'll decide. Sound good to everyone??? If you want one for your personal collection, I'll post information after the 1st on how to get one and have the proceeds go to the charity.

[Lynda90]

Great idea, Tink. Keep us posted on what you find out.

[surfnsun]

I agree!! Great idea, Tink! IMO, you are exceeding expectations as a "Host" by taking this on! Kudos to you!

[surfnsun]

OK, this could be really embarrasing with all this fantastic talent and creativity, but I'll give it another try. TUNE: Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer:

 

There was GOLDEN and CORAL and REGAL and GRAND

SUN and STAR and ROYAL and DAWN

But do you recalllll, the most famous cruise ship of allllll????

 

Love Boat the Princess cruise ship

Had a very friendly crew

And if you knew them

You would even say, "They're cool!"

 

All of the other cruise ships

Used to laugh and call it names

They never let poor Love Boat

Join in any real ship games

 

Then one hurricane season fright :eek:

Princess came to say

Love Boat with your crew so bright

Won't you guide the ships tonight? :D

 

Then how the passengers loved them

Everbody was in glee

Love Boat, the Princess cruise ship

You'll go down in historyyyyyyy

[Lynda90]

Very, very cute! Thanks for sharing.:D

[NitaBcruising]

Have yourself a very happy cruise

Let's be on our way

Let's embark

Be ready for sailaway!

 

Have yourself the very best of days

Cruising on the seas

Eat too much

Eat everything you please!

 

Here we are on a Princess ship

The best ship, you see

Faithful friends who go with us

Will with us, agree!

 

Through the cruise,

we will tour as one

Sharing rides

Having lots of fun

And come back again

Wishing it had just begun!

 

Buy yourself another cruise today!

[mii]

Surfnsun: Now that is cute. We certainly have some very talented people on CC. Great idea Tink. Thanks for thinking and doing that for charity.

 

Marilyn

[ourlol]

Host Tink... I think you've gone to the top of the class! That is a really special thing you are doing. Thank you.

 

 

I couldn't reply (*could I?) without adding another contribution - another party song - this time Locomotion by Little Eva (not the Kylie version)

 

All new cruisers get onboard the ship now

Come on baby, sail the big blue ocean ….

I know you’ll get to like it, if you give it a chance now,

Come on baby, sail the big blue ocean

 

Why don’t you stand on deck and feel the breeze

The sun is really hot and you won’t freeze

So come on, come on, sail the big blue ocean with me…

 

You’ve gotta pile your plates up high

Come on baby, queue up, queue back,

Well, you’ve nothing left to pack

Woah woah

 

All past cruisers let’s not complain now

Come on baby, see the new promotion!…

I know you’ll get to like it, if you give it a chance now

Come on baby, see the new promotion!

 

If you’re feeling queasy now don’t loose control

A little bit of ginger will help calm your soul

So, come on, come on, sail the big blue ocean with me.

 

Oh yeah…

Sail the big blue ocean

Sail the big blue ocean

Yay, yay, yay, yeah

 

 

(* = don't answer that ;) )

 

At this point I think I need to disable my PC and get on finalising Christmas... at this rate... it won't be happening cos I'm spending all my time humming songs. In that case I'd better wish you all a Happy New Year while I'm still here. :D

[Coral]

ourlol - Awesome thread!

 

I just wish I was creative. I loved reading these!

[surfnsun]

OK, I suppose this is going from cute to controversial. May not want this one for the book, but some may find it humorous (that's spelled humourous for UK friends). All in good fun (I hope). TUNE: I AM WOMAN

 

I am MUTS, hear me roar

My volume too loud to ignore

Cruise lines never going back to tra-di-tioooonnnn

 

Cause we'll hear it even more

Bringing clients through the door

Some will love to watch the movies yet again

 

Da-ta-da-ta

 

OOOHHHH, yes, I am loud

But I can't seem to refrain

Have another drink

It helps to ease the pain

If we have to, we can face anything

 

We love ships - ships

We are invincible - invincible

We'll take mooovvviiiiieeesss (under-the-stars)

We'll take mooovvviiiieeesss (under-the-stars)

From what I've read once you get to about 320 feet you will see a reindeer. No one over there has been able to hit it yet, best score is 334. Maybe we can do better. I've come no where near yet. :eek:
