HELP, have I got the right last line to this carol ???

[BLUETIT]

We three kings of Orient are
One in a bus and one in a car
One on a scooter, blowing his hooter
Whilst smoking a fat cigar


I’m not sure I got the last line right !

[Rjk]

I think you'll find in the correct version the second line is

"one in a taxi, one in a car".

[Geraint Pillock]

Always used to be "Following Ringo Starr" for me.

[JamesWales]

I'm not sure. What I can confirm is that the words to Jesus Christ Superstar are

"Jesus Christ, Superstar. Came down from heaven on a Yamaha. Done a skid, killed a kid. Went back upto heaven and nicked ten quid"

Quite scandalous looking back on it. I remember our very christian teacher at primary school being happy that we were singing it in class to ourselves, until she clocked the lyrics and then we had to stay in at lunch.

I remember 'Jesus Christ Superstar, wears frilly knickers and a Playtex Bra'

It might have been from a Two Ronnies sketch but could be mistaken

it does sound very two ronnies

[RichardM]

The first line is "We three kings of Leicester Square"

I’m going to throw a spanner in the works here and suggest it was ‘Followed by Ringo Starr’

Trouble is, the grandkids said “who is Ringo Starr”

[The Bloop]

The voice of Thomas the Tank Engine🙂

That was in the mid eighties. I doubt if Tony's grandchildren remember it.

Shouldn't there be two in either the taxi or the car?

[PhyllisStant]

I'm pretty sure JC was "bombing down the road on a Yamaha"

He then "pulled a skid, killed a kid and ripped his balls on a dustbin lid". Not one of his best days.

No, the third is on a scooter, blowing his hooter.

When i first heard that, posh words like "whilst" were unheard of

The Charlie George chant as sung by non-Arsenal fans, as I recall? It's before my time, but I'm sure I read it in Fever Pitch.

City v Swindon Town 1968ish, was it 'Don Rogers, superstar, can't get his t*ts inside a playtex bra'.

Another version, not very PC by today’s standards, was
Rodney Marsh
Super queer
How many bums
Have you had this year?

[tforturton]

it does sound very two ronnies

We used to sing this in primary school, and that's going back a bit. Except it was 'Georgie Best, superstar...'
