lyrics

BBQ (37)
Ken Punshon & Chris Pyam 2010


[Barbeque, drink some wine, Have good fun, have a good time
Barbeque, drink some wine, Especially if the weather's fine]

The day dawns clear, and the sky is bright, The family barbeque is planned
The adults prepare, to get it right, Kids already playing in the sand

Clear the patio and place the seats, Get the table laid
Light the barbeque, let it heat, Make sure music's played

[]

Beefburgers and chicken wings, Meaty feast this afternoon
What a surprise, the telephone rings, Some more friends are coming soon

Six more adults, and their kids, Do we have the room
Plenty of booze, but heaven forbid, That all the food's consumed

[]

Raid the freezer, quick defrost, Lots more belly pork
In the kitchen salad's tossed, While we're removing corks

Pounds of sausages, some merguez, Plenty of crisps and dips
Lots to eat at this soiree, Even got some chips

[]

Now at last they are all here, Thirtyfive or more
Settle down, have some beer, But is that someone at the door?

Settle down start to eat, Let the fun begin
Just a minute, is that sleet, We all start clearing, rushing in

[]

Carry the barbeque through the house, Into the garage
Get black looks from the spouse, Going to need a heart massage

Finally, they've all gone home, Or some just fallen asleep
My inebriated brain does roam, Whose barbeque is it next week

Thursday's Child UK

Thursday's Child was born on a Monday (August Bank Holiday 2009)!

Chris Pyam and Ken Punshon got together to try out a couple of ideas for songs. That afternoon they created about eight songs; since then over 100 more have emerged, with a few more 'bubbling away'.

Heather Dunn joined us in Nov 13 to contribute additional harmonies during the creation of our third album (Carry My Thoughts). ... more
