Nottingham Castle
I’ve had a bet
That it will be a white Christmas
The bookie just laughed
but he still took my money
I said don’t laugh
There will definitely be snow
On this Christmas day,
But he gave me odds at 5/2
The bookie thinks he’s funny
Now he has my money
And got one over on me,
But he won’t be laughing
Because the weather forecast
Does forecast snow on Christmas day,
The last time it snowed
In Nottingham was 25 years ago
On Christmas day
