 * So vain that I charitably want to believe it's a joke by an acquaintance of his. He's on Category:1979 births too -- please could whoever ends up deleting this remove him from there as well? (I'd do it myself now, but it feels like pre-empting the VfD process to remove it before the article goes.) Oh, and delete, of course. Pnot 07:51, 8 Nov 2004 (UTC)

"We Three Kings Of Orient Are"
(Copied from Reference desk/Humanities)

What are the words to this carol?

See here. Filiocht | The kettle's on 15:48, 14 December 2005 (UTC)


 * One in a taxi, one in a car / one on a scooter, 'ooting 'is 'ooter / following yonder star. At least that's the way I used to sing it in school. --Bob Mellish 15:57, 14 December 2005 (UTC)


 * We three kings of Orient are
 * Bearing gifts we traverse afar
 * Field and Fountain, Moor and Mountain
 * Following Yonder Star
 * Chorus:
 * Oh, Star of Wonder, Star of Light
 * Star with royal beauty bright
 * Westward leading, still proceeding
 * Guide us to thy perfect light


 * Born a king on Bethlehem plain
 * Gold I bring to crown him again
 * ''King forever, ceasing never"
 * Over us all to reign
 * Chorus
 * Frankincense to offer have I
 * Incense owns a Deity high
 * Prayer and praising; all men raising
 * Worship him, God on high
 * Chorus
 * Myrrh is mine, its bitter purfume
 * Leads a life of gathering gloom
 * Sorrowing, sighing, bleeding, dying
 * Sealed in a stone cold tomb
 * Chorus
 * Glorious now, behold him, arise
 * King, and God, and sacrifice
 * Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
 * Earth to Heaven replies.

I was taught a slightly different version by my father:
 * We four Beatles of Liverpool are
 * John in a taxi, Paul in a car,
 * George on a scooter, beeping his hooter
 * Following Ringo Starr.

Another one to make the five year olds giggle:
 * We three kings of Leicester Square
 * Selling Knickers, tuppence a pair
 * They're fantastic, no elastic
 * Running around all bare

And then there's:
 * We three Kings of Orient are,
 * trying to smoke an exploding cigar.
 * It was loaded, it exploded ...

... BOOM! ...
 * Silent night, holy night ...

With reference to Daniel Brandt:


 * Brandt's chart was obviously a scare tactic to encourage the deletion. I'd like to see him sue for such petty things. "These meanies called me names on the internets and made me real sad :((" (User:EndAnonDiscrimination)
