It was Christmas eve in the valley br The miners came up from the pit, br They came out of the cage picked up their wage br And went home for a shower and a shave. br br Yes it was Christmas eve in valley br The beer flowed from the barrels. br And the valley choir in warm attire br Was out singing their Christmas carols. br br But no holiday for the girl in grey, br A district nurse named Megan Reedy, br Over vale and hill with bandage and pill, br She would cycle to succour the needy. br br Now Yanto Reece Morgan known as the organ br For reasons I dare not explain br Had sat on a nail which had punctured his tail, br Had turned septic and was causing great pain. br br With a sob and a curse he sent for the nurse, br And she came to his aid Christmas day, br She said, ”An inspection might detect an infection br So let`s look at your bum right away”. br br Morgan was a guy who was just a bit shy, br But she had his trousers off him in a trice br And the thing that she saw struck her with awe br And made her quietly whisper, “There`s nice”. br br She packed her portmanteau to live with with Yanto br Forty years of great happiness and fun br Every year without fail they worship a nail, br That nailed them both together as one.
