A Rotherham locksmith carol

Seasons Greetings to you all!

It’ll be a strange old Christmas this year, with the continued restrictions and all the rest of the shenanigans that 2020 has brought us. However, we can genuinely have hope that a normality may not be too far off with the news about the vaccine, and that the lockdown has got things back under control a bit.

Thank you to all my customers this year – I am glad I have been able to work throughout the various lockdowns, and appreciate many have not been able to do that. Whatever you’re doing this Christmas, hope it will be stress-free, and also mark the turn of the tide to better times ahead.

In lieu of the normal advice today and seeing as we’re well into the advent season, I’m treating (yes, treating) you to my very own version of Last Christmas, with apologies to the late George Michael. Feel free to sing along…

Last Christmas, I mislaid my key

And the very next day you stole my TV
This year, to save me from tears
I’ve called in my local Rotherham Locksmith

Last Christmas, I mislaid my key

And the very next day you stole my TV
This year, to save me from tears
I’ve called in my local Rotherham  Locksmith

Once burgled and twice shy

I kept my lights on
But still I knew you’d try
Tell me, burglar
Do you recognize me?
Well, it’s been a year
It wouldn’t surprise me

(Merry Christmas!) I had the locks changed
With a note saying, “Just try it,” I meant it
Now, I know what a fool I’d been
But if you tried to break in now
You wouldn’t get in again

Last Christmas, I mislaid my key

And the very next day you stole my TV
This year, to save me from tears
I’ve called in my local Rotherham  Locksmith

Last Christmas, I mislaid my key

And the very next day you stole my TV
This year, to save me from tears
I’ve called in my local Rotherham  Locksmith

A burgled room, you even took the mince pies
No more hiding from you, and your soul of ice
I thought my burglar alarm was something to rely on
Me? I guess on that day I should have turned it on.

A man with a jemmy with crime in his heart
You evaded the security lights and tore me apart
Now, I’ve got new Ultion locks you’ll never do it again

Last Christmas, I mislaid my key

And the very next day you stole my TV
This year, to save me from tears
I’ve called in my local Rotherham Locksmith

Last Christmas, I mislaid my key

And the very next day you stole my TV
This year, to save me from tears
I’ve called in my local Rotherham Locksmith

A man with a jemmy with crime in his heart
You evaded the security lights and tore me apart

Maybe next year I’ll call in the locksmith

And he’ll do me a deal on the patio doors.

I know, I know, it’s almost inevitable I’d have been given an Ivor Novello award for this had I released it. But instead, I’m giving it out for free to my valued readers. Think of it as a thank you for sticking by me this year.

Wishing all my readers a merry Christmas, and genuine hope for a better 2021.
