Memories of Spain
Concessions To The Ladies
1. It's 7 o'clock Friday evening
Our cases to Horeb once more,
It's the start of another adventure
Blaenafon Male Voice are on tour
2. The Cwmbran bus had a small problem
When a brick at the windscreen was thrown.
But hooray, their intrepid bus driver
Said no-there is no going home.
3. It’s now 3, o'clock in the morning
We're, Standing here wajting for the bus.
But wait what js the matter with Malcolm
He’s really beginning to fuss.
4. His insulin-has he remembered to pack it
Just open the case-take a look.
Oh dear a minor disaster
Now he's gone and lost his case lock.
5. Our Ira -she packed Melvin's suitcase
Except his black shoes for the night.
When he opened the case-the look on his face
No left shoe-just two for the right.
6. On Saturday night we were hungry
So Glyn took a group out to dine.
We caught a bus down to Sandpiper
To sample their food and their wine.
7. But the waiter turned out a true dandy
He wasn't as straight as a die.
If you don't believe what I tell you,
Just ask Colin- he caught Andy's eye.
8. Then Blanche she decided to join in
And asked Andy to show her his chest.
He unbuttoned his shirt- to show us his curls
I don't think I should tell you the rest.
9. The last of our party have made it.
La Bessa and Doug came by train.
They travelled for 3 1 hours,
I don't think that they'll do it again.
10. Nigel Williams- he did have a birthday.
A present in pub he received.
But when wearing a G-string and tights mask
Would anyone there be deceived.
11. Now Sundays a day for relaxing
So come out for a meal and a drink.
We'll just keep you 5 hours talking,
About timeshares- so what do you think.
12. Now look at Doug Warren and Owen
Have they anything in common I ask
You'll say "No" but I have to correct you.
When it comes to one small simple task.
13. Just ask them to fetch you a fruit juice
From the machine that's down in the hall.
They'll press button and hold glass container
On wrong side from where juice will fall.
14. But when we arose Monday morning
To thunder and lighting and rain.
We looked out and thought we were dreaming
Are you sure we're on holiday in Spain.
15. On Monday t'was Phyllis's birthday
A grand lass who'se reached 83.
Perhaps she will tell-how she keeps so well,
Or pass on all her secrets to me.
16. That evening we set off for Nerja'
The men their first concert to sing.
There was just one minor confusion
The driver couldn't find his way in.
17. We stopped there in two different car parks,
While driver found out where to go,
But our committee then held a brief meeting
And decided to walk to the show.
18. After concert we went down to a Welsh club
Some liquid refreshments to find
Then the 5 minute call for the bus came.
Be quick or you'll be left behind.
19. The toilet queues grew really quickly
The ladies the longest you know.
But Glenys solved that little problem
When- with Rollie-In gents she did go.
20. We wandered back down road to bus stop
You know- we were taking our time.
When our Sharon tripped up and did fall down
I wonder- how strong was the wine?
21. One day our Gwyllum went driving
A man frantically waved him to stop.
He didn't know what to say so he just drove away,
Through a newly laid wet cement block.
22. Some of our lads went to market
For a cap that they wanted to buy.
The words they did chose were so special
“Road Wrecker" would describe this guy
23. To Bella Madina went sponsors
You know Jill and our Brian whose quite dour.
With beer 87 cents a litre
Brian's comment was "When's happy hour?"
24. Our Garth he did take drastic action
Just to miss a small concert or two.
But we're glad he's arrived back at hotel
To join the rest of this large motley crew.
25. Some of our lads had been walking
When Andy said "Let's go for a swim"
He grabbed Regs' hand and started to run
And our Reg, fully clothed, he dived in.
26. The boys pulled him out very quickly
But his Tracey's at home all alone.
Reg can't tell her about his adventure'
'Cause he ruined his new mobile phone.
27. This closes my short Spanish ditty.
It's the end of the holiday too.
I hope to see you in South Africa.
What a venue for centenary do.
