My first ship


This site is still under construction, but here is a little ditty from the ditty box

We had onboard our very own musician/song writer

EL CONNY

One day whilst alongside in Malta,and understood to be heading home for leave the Prime Minister Mr Harold Wilson decided he would continue talks with Mr Smith of Rhodesia,using our ship as his office, number ten, but no one infomed us, just the buzz going around the harbour by the locals, We set sail heading Home or so we thought, but El Conny kept us informed having penned this Calypso before the Dog Watch


THE FEARLESS CALYPS0

Well I am sad to say Fearless is sailing away
Will not be back for many a day
Instead of Northward bound we are turning around
Going to meet Harold Wilson in Lagos town

CHORUS
Oggie, Oggie, Oggie.We will never get home
Oggie, Oggie, Oggie.On the sea's we will roam
The Government says we should never drip
But please Haslemere get me off of this ship

Oh Harold Wilson It has been heard to say
Is putting in for seperation pay
Three times in two years on ships of the line
So now he is shouting Roll on my time

CHORUS

Oh Its Splicers for 'G' members Limers for UA's
Thats all we get from the Wilson stays
He's using this ship like a Wilson's den
And even on the side is painted number ten

CHORUS

From the Daghjsa man we got the buzz
That we were not sailing back to Guzz
Confirmed by the bbc radio men
Were being used for the conference talks again

CHORUS

Written by El Conny, Sung by El Conny and the Railway Hotel Choral Society
