It's still the Christmas season, right?
"Go," she said to me.
parrum pa pum-pum
"A new neighbor to see."
parrum pa pum-pum
We have five girls unwed
parrum pa pum-pum
Who'll save them when I'm dead?
parrum pa pum-pum
rum pa pum-pum
rum pa pum-pum
So I'll make a call
parrum pa pum-pum
To Netherfield.
He's an eager man,
parrum pa pum-pum
Not born a gentleman.
parrum pa pum-pum
His money comes from trade;
parrum pa pum-pum
At least his bills are paid
parrum pa pum-pum
rum pa pum-pum
rum pa pum-pum
So I won't say no
parrum pa pum-pum
To Netherfield.
The assembly
parrum pa pum-pum
My daughters he will see
parrum pa pum-pum
In all their finest dress
parrum pa pum-pum
And their foolishness.
parrum pa pum-pum
rum pa pum-pum
rum pa pum-pum
Who will win the heart
parrum pa pum-pum
Of Netherfield?
Quickly smitten,
parrum pa pum-pum
He takes Jane for a spin.
parrum pa pum-pum
Who needs five girls at home
parrum pa pum-pum
When he loves the first one?
parrum pa pum-pum
rum pa pum-pum
rum pa pum-pum
So our savior's come
parrum pa pum-pum
To Netherfield.
Notes: I barely made it this year, but Boxing Day is still Christmas in my head. Feel free to replace the nonsense lines with your own -- I kept thinking 'fa-la-la-la' as I worked on the song but printed the 'rum-pa-pum-pums' as they are traditional.
