Pack Up Your Troubles In Your Old Kit Bag
& It's a Long Way to Tipperary
midi and lyrics



Pack up your troubles in your old kit bag and smile, smile, smile
While you've a lucifer to light your fag; smile boys, that's the style
What's the use of worrying?  It never was worthwhile
So... pack up your troubles in your old kit bag and smile, smile, smile.

It's a long way to Tipperary - it's a long way to go
It's a long way to Tipperary to the sweetest girl I know
Goodbye Picadilly.  Farewell Leicester Square
It's a long, long way to Tipperary but my heart's right there.

MIDI and lyrics to 'Pack Up Your Troubles In Your Old Kit Bag' and 'It's a Long Way to Tipperary' as performed in our annual concert on March 11th 2005 with Abercrave and Caehopkin schools.  A theme of the concert was wartime music as we commemorate the 60th anniversary of the end of the Second World War.  The introduction we played to the songs is, of course, Vera Lynn's 'We'll Meet Again'. Having both schools sing a different song at the same time for the third chorus proved to be an unexpected success as they had had no rehearsals together!  Why not call someone over to the computer to try it???
