Some of the hymns that they sing have nice chords but the lyrics are dodgy

To the mis-education of children who in tax-exempt institutions

And to feel ashamed

And you my baby girl

My jetlagged infant daughter

Youll be handed round the room
C Csus4 C
Like a puppy at a primary school
Bb
And you won't understand

My sweet blue-eyed girl

And if my baby girl

When youre twenty-one or thirty-one

And Christmas comes around

And you find yourself nine thousand miles from home

Youll know what-ever---- comes
