The Carlton Singers Website

There was a young singer from Bandon
Who performed when he'd something to stand on!
He liked to sing Bass,
But fell flat on his face,
When Kev's moustache was all he could land on!

An alto so sweet and demure
From a place quite near to Tenure
Took helium gas
On her way to 1st Mass
And now sings soprano secure!

Courtesy of a certain Tenure resident!

A soprano of dubious tone
Sang con belto on the telephone
She e-mailed the boss
Who got very cross
And now the poor lass sings alone!

From the Travelling Paveys and Friends!

There was a young tenor from Derry
Who befriended a mezzo from Kerry
"Oh! tell me," said he,
"Can you sing a high sea?"
As they sailed 'round the coast on De Ferry!

Tenure strikes again!

A dapper young tenor called Robin,
Was overheard wailin' & sobbin'
I'll sing "Molly Malone",
In Prague on my own,
But not all of the "Street Cries of Dublin"!!

Couldn't resist this one.....
..... from the Greene shtable!

A tutor who tooted the flute
Tried to tutor two tutors to toot.
Said the two to the tutor
'Is it harder to toot or
To tutor two tutors to toot?'
Thank you Anne Turnbull

An alto with a twinkle in her eye,
Was known to sing 'Rocky Mountain High'
When her beau reached the summit
He decided to hum it
Sure she heard him and started to cry!

Inspired by an alto........
......and her beau.......
Summer 2000

A madrigal group sang at a wedding
Where the groom's mum was constantly shedding
Great tears of salt water
"She'll soon be my daughter
It's those high C's of hers that I'm dreading!"

Merci beaucoup Barjon!

A musical lassie called Gráinne
Has recently acquired a fáinne!
"Dis kin be my man"
Into his arms she ran
To have and to hold, good on ya!

To the happy couple!

"What WATT is that bulb?" said Tom pained
As his crotchets and eyeballs he strained....
He'd a pain in his face
Trying to sing second Bass
But with the lamp from the Office he gained!
Nelly strikes again!

A cailín from Westmeath was shtrummin'
And the Carltons they all were a hummin'...
Thought they'd never go far
But the bould Eleanor
Took them straight to the top ....she's some woman!
Good on you Matt Gilsenan!
