i was half-surprised that i knew every word to this song still, and even remember specific parts of this performance.

Hearing about Mary's death made me feel really, really old for some reason.

I totally forgot about this song, awesome. (Any idea what the name of the song is that goes "If you haven't got a penny, a ha'penny will do?" That's the only time I ever remember anyone ever saying the word "ha'penny.")

Found it, it's called "A soalin'." No idea wtf that is.

"Christmas is Coming"

I think this is it, the lyrics seem familiar:
"Christmas is coming,
the goose is getting fat
Please put a penny in the old man's hat If you haven't got a penny,
a ha'penny will do
If you haven't got a ha'penny,
a farthing will do
If you haven't got a farthing then
God bless you! "
