Hells Bells, have they really got a Stiff Upper Lip ???????????????

Who wrote these lyrics:

There's a place for us,
Somewhere a place for us.
Peace and quiet and open air
Wait for us
Somewhere.

There's a time for us,
Some day a time for us,
Time together with time spare,
Time to learn, time to care,
Some day!

Somewhere.
We'll find a new way of living,
We'll find a way of forgiving
Somewhere . . .

There's a place for us,
A time and place for us.
Hold my hand and we're halfway there.
Hold my hand and I'll take you there
Somehow,
Some day,
Somewhere!

Music by Leonard Bernstein, lyrics by Stephen Sondheim.

Somewhere from West Side Story


But, Hells Bells, who has really got a Stiff Upper lip ????????????

Yes but who famously split his trousers singing this ? Hint its not me !

John
New avatar! Is this Freddy?

Who is John ? Who is freddy ?

I am confused - Margo explain please

Sorry hiama - John=Oakman. Freddy is much-loved dawg who died last year!

Yep Margo, that's my old pal Freddie. One of the best friends I ever had. Used to follw me everywhere.
My wife named him Freddie after Freddie Murcury

holding his own in the conversation at table, I see!

Margo, he a was proper Big Girls Blouse and as daft as a brush. But he would sit with you listen to what you had too say and never argue. His table manners were lousy, never masered a knife and fork, let alone chop sticks.

hiama, please tell us who "famously split his trousers"!

Hi OaK.... Freddie looks like he was a loved and pampered dog.... I know how hard it is when they pass away.... here's a hug...
(((OaK and Mrs Oak)))

Hi hiama.... I like your new avatar!!!

New Question, in honor of hiama's new avatar.....

here's the lyrics..... name the artist.....


A long time ago when the earth was green,
There were more kinds of animals than you've ever seen,
They'd run around free while the earth was being born,
But the loveliest of all was the Unicorn.

There were green alligators and long necked geese,
Some humpty-back camels and some chimpanzees,
Some cats and rats and elephants, but sure as you're born,
The loveliest of all was the Unicorn.

Now God seen some sinning and it gave Him pain,
And He said "Stand back, I'm going to make it rain."
He said "Hey brother Noah, I'll tell you what to do,
Build me a floating zoo. And take some of them...

Green alligators and long necked geese,
Some humpty-back camels and some chimpanzees,
Some cats and rats and elephants, but sure as you're born,
Don't you forget My Unicorn."

Well Noah was there to answer the call,
And he finished making the ark just as the rain started to fall.
He marched in the animals two by two,
And he called out as they went through, "Hey Lord, I got your..."

Green alligators and long necked geese,
Some humpty-back camels and some chimpanzees,
Some cats and rats and elephants, but sure as you're born,
I just don't see no Unicorn."

Well Noah looked out through the driving rain,
Those Unicorns were hiding, and playing silly games.
They were kicking and a-splashing while the rain was pouring down,
Oh them silly Unicorns.

There were green alligators and long necked geese,
Some humpty-back camels and some chimpanzees,
Noah cried "Close the door, for the rain is pouring,
And we just can't wait for no Unicorn."

Well the ark started moving, it drifted with the tide.
Those Unicorns looked up from the rocks and they cried,
And the waters came down and sort of floated them away,
And that's why you'll never see a Unicorn... to this very day.

You'll see green alligators and long necked geese,
Some humpty-back camels and some chimpanzees,
Some cats and rats and elephants, but sure as you're born,
You're never gonna see no Unicorn.
