This is a question School Assemblies

Our school assemblies were often presided over by the local vicar, who once warned us of the dreadful dangers of mixing with "Rods and Mockers". One of the cool teachers laughed. Tell us about mad headteachers and assemblies gone wrong.

Inspired by the mighty @Rhodri on Twitter

Looks like he's taking the term 'come and praise' in the wrong way.

Hallelujah!
My fave hymn was "Autumn Days" as it didn't have any mention of God or Jesus in it. Which I suppose just makes it a song.

..
Autumn days, when the grass is jewelled
And the silk inside a chestnut shell
Jet planes meeting in the air to be refuelled
All these things I love so well

So I mustn’t forget
No, I mustn’t forget
To say a great big thank you
I mustn’t forget.

Clouds that look like familiar faces
And a winter’s moon with frosted rings
Smell of bacon as I fasten up my laces
And the song the milkman sings.

So I mustn’t forget
No, I mustn’t forget
To say a great big thank you
I mustn’t forget.

Whipped-up spray that is rainbow-scattered
And a swallow curving in the sky
Shoes so comfy though they’re worn out and they’re battered
And the taste of apple pie.

So I mustn’t forget
No, I mustn’t forget
To say a great big thank you
I mustn’t forget.

Scent of gardens when the rain’s been falling
And a minnow darting down a stream
Picked-up engine that’s been stuttering and stalling
And a win for my home team.

So I mustn’t forget
No, I mustn’t forget
To say a great big thank you
I mustn’t forget.

It's a perfect b3ta song, as it mentions food.

MmmmMMmm
Bacon and pie, two things for which we should all be truely grateful.

However I have to admit that I've never seen a jet plane being refuelled and I can't imagine how this might be a sight so wonderful as to offer up a song of thanks.

I might change it to something I can really appreciate like...
"The smell of petrol as the mower is refuelled"

Fucking hell
I haven't seen that for nearly twenty five years.

It made assembly even more of an ordeal for us, as we only had one book per two pupils, so one of us had to share with Richard Moss, who used to go whole terms without bathing or cleaning his teeth.

Oh and one of the books sported a gargantuan pube that managed to sneak inside the laminated cover. We all used to make sure that Richard Moss got this copy.

I have the piano music version of that in my classroom
I was helping clear out the music room and found it. I couldn't let it be thrown out.

I too loved Autumn Days.
