Peter Panto

It’s panto season once more
Oh no it isn’t! I hear the crowd roar
We’ve tuned the ba-dum tsch, We’ve settled the score
And stitched curtain calls for the walk-down encore

The principals’ principles are sometimes ad lib
The chorus-line parts are tight like a jib
Cute kids play their part, There will be no damp squib
And the drums they may crack your spare rib

We’ve got Wendy and Peter, Hook, Mick, and Tinker
The Darlings are darlings it makes you just thinker
Tik Tok Crok, with a K? It’s a bit of a stinker
It’s all quite enough to turn you to drinker

The baddy is bad and he gets a Booooo!
The goodies are as good as goody-two-shoe
The lights are alight, There’s no dame, that one’s new
And come Saturday, once again…it’s behind you!
