The elves came across this long-forgotten ditty hidden in the bottom of Santa's sack! Merry Christmas to Susan and everyone.

God rest ye merry, Chalet girls, let nothing ye despair,
Not even when you’ve boiled the clock or tilted on your chair,
Or dressed as noble savages and made the locals stare.
Oh tidings of powder in the bath
(Didn’t we laugh?)
Oh tidings of powder in the bath.

Remember, gentle Chalet girls, work hard and play the game,
And when you’ve Vaselined the board, stand up and take the blame,
Strive every day to be a credit to the brown-and-flame,
Oh tidings of boiling up the clock
(Terrible shock!)
Oh tidings of boiling up the clock.

And ever speak, ye Chalet girls, in voices soft and low,
For gentlewomen do not shout (or shriek or screech), you know,
Pray think about what Shakespeare said so many years ago,
Oh tidings of writing out those lines
(Millions of times)
Oh tidings of writing out those lines.

Dream sweet, oh blessed Chalet girls, of work and rest and play,
Of arguing from effect to cause and back the other way,
Of romping round the mountainside and sleeping ‘midst the hay,
Oh tidings of cloves in apple pie
(Give it a try)
Oh tidings of cloves in apple pie.

And when at last it’s time to leave, there’s memories galore,
Of walks and talks and lakes and cakes, and doctors by the score,
So send your children to the School – ‘twill thrill them to the core,
Oh tidings of countless of sets of twins,
(Triplets and quins)
Oh tidings of countless of sets of twins.

Thank you very much Santa. I think this version may come to the fore when we sing the 'other' version.
