A seond KM Xmas song could be We Three Advisors, to the tune of We Three Kings. If I post the original song here so that people who don't know it can take the verses and modify it if they want to join in. Perhaps if we do it verse by verse? I'll start just to show you what I mean.

ORIGINAL:

We three kings of Orient are,
Bearing gifts we traverse afar,
Field and fountain, moor and mountain,
Following yonder Star.


Chorus:
O, star of wonder, star of might,
Star with royal beauty bright,
Westward leading, still proceeding,
Guide us to the perfect light.


Born a babe on Bethlehem's plain;
Gold we bring to crown Him again;
King forever, ceasing never,
Over us all to reign.


Chorus

Frankincense to offer have I;
Incense owns a Deity nigh;
Prayer and praising, all men raising,
Worship Him, God on High.


Chorus

Myrrh is mine; its bitter perfume
Breathes a life of gathering gloom;
Sorrowing, sighing, bleeding, dying,
Sealed in the stone-cold tomb.


Chorus

Glorious now behold Him arise,
King and God and sacrifice,
Heaven sings, "Hallelujah!"
Hallelujah!" Earth replies.

WE THREE ADVISORS:

We three advisors of series five be,
Bearing pens we scribble with glee,
tunnel and dungeon, goblins will bludgeon,
Following quests you see.

O, quest of thunder, quest of fright,
He can't see so we're his sight,
Life force reading: vim receding,
Grab some food then be a knight.

[An alternative first stanza:

'We three monks: Strange, Cedric and Mace,
One of us won't show you his face,
Wearing habits,
Tend to rabbit,
Monks are we by God's grace.']

[Oh thanks - mines not good enough, eh?  ;)]

[I only said an alternative, certainly not a better alternative!  ;) I just didn't want to change the subject of the main song from Advisors to Monks.]

[heh. fairy snuff.]

Sworn a team in Treguard's chamber;
Crowns we seek as the fruits of our labour;
Quest forever, ceasing never,
[ADVISOR GIVES THE TEAM MEMBER NEXT TO HIM A DIRTY LOOK]
I'm getting annoyed with my neighbour.

O, quest of thunder, quest of fright,
He can't see so we're his sight,
Life force reading: vim receding,
Grab some food then be a knight.

We three advisors of Worcestershire are,
Gonna go all the way far,
Simon and Derek, Dungeoneer Barry and Daniel,
Baz's mouth is our star.

Eh? That doesn't seem a very close modification of:

Frankincense to offer have I;
Incense owns a Deity nigh;
Prayer and praising, all men raising,
Worship Him, God on High.

Oh well

I don't think many people have ever sung that far into the song! I certainly had never heard of anything beyond the first verse. Perhaps simply having differing versions of the first verse is the way forward for this topic...  :)

This is blatant lazy cheating on my part. Gavin's carol from season three. >Ahem<...

We four boys of Uddingston are,
Hunting for... GLUB-GLUB-GLUB-GLUB-GLUB,
GLUB-GLUB-GLUB-GLUB,
GLUB-GLUB-GLUB-GLUB-GLUB,
GLUB-GLUB-GLUB-GLUB-GLUB-GLUUUUUB!

A bar of gold to offer have I;
Hand over the lootings or the end is nigh;
Com dungeoneer, the Descendor's raising,
Watch out for Mogdred, or else you will die.

your death here; you will fall to your doom
And lie forever in the gathering gloom;
Sorrowing, sighing, almost crying,
why did we sidestep left in the block and tackle room.
(One there for Simon!)

Glorious quest winners will now arise,
They retrived the sacred cup of life,
And Treguard says well Hallelujah!"
Hallelujah!" the team replies.

(Sorry for a TRIPLE post but I just kept coming up with ideas!)

Hehe! Well I think that just about finishes it!
