SHA-LA-LA
By Lennox Gray [1971]

Tell your Granny put the sorrel in the sun to dry
Make the pastelle, bake the ham and now do you know why?
Tell your Granny put the sorrel in the sun to dry
Make the pastelle, bake the ham and now do you know why?

Decoration, celebration, music everywhere
Sing it out loud, "Alleluia, Jesus will be here!"
And I know if He's your main man, then you have no fear
Send your neighbour best of wishes for the coming year.

Sha lah-lah lah-lah, just have a happy day
A happy Christmas day, lah dee-dee dee-dee
Sha lah-lah lah-lah, just have a happy day
A happy Christmas day, lah dee-dee dee-dee.

How glad I am just to know, my friend
That you are never far and I will never be sad
I'm so glad just to know, my friend
That you are never far and I will never be sad
I'm so glad just to know, my friend
That you are never far and I will never be sad.

Groovy lovers in the city walking hand in hand
Little children make the toyshop like a fairy land
If you were some kind of angel, you could spread your wings
Then you fly up into heaven and I hear you sing.

Tell your Granny put the sorrel in the sun to dry
Make the pastelle, bake the ham and now do you know why?
Tell your Granny put the sorrel in the sun to dry
Make the pastelle, bake the ham and now do you know why?

Tell your Granny put the sorrel in the sun to dry
Make the pastelle, bake the ham and now do you know why?
Tell your Granny put the sorrel in the sun to dry
Make the pastelle, bake the ham and now do you know why?

Sha lah-lah lah-lah, just have a happy day
A happy Christmas day, lah dee-dee dee-dee
Sha lah-lah lah-lah, just have a happy day
A happy Christmas day, lah dee-dee dee-dee.
Sha lah-lah lah-lah, just have a happy day
A happy Christmas day, lah dee-dee dee-dee

How glad I am just to know, my friend
That you are never far and I will never be sad
I'm so glad just to know, my friend
That you are never far and I will never be sad
I'm so glad just to know, my friend
That you are never far and I will never be sad.

Sha lah-lah lah-lah Sha lah-lah lah-lah
Sha lah-lah lah-lah Sha lah-lah lah-lah...

A Note From The Gull

Thank you, Lennox Gray for this treasure from the past. We tend to associate Lennox Gray with "Around My Christmas Tree" and I had never heard this breezy, happy Christmas song until I found it recently on YouTube.
"Sha lah-lah lah-lah, just have a happy day
A happy Christmas day, lah dee-dee dee-dee"

"Patria est communis omnium parens" - Our native land is the common parent of us all. Keep it beautiful, make it even more so.

Blessed is all of creation
Blessed be my beautiful people
Blessed be the day of our awakening
Blessed is my country
Blessed are her patient hills.

Mweh ka allay!
Guanaguanare
