Is nothing sacred anymore? Tim Minchin

Is nothing sacred anymore? - Tim Minchin
I sit- here as for 20 years I've sat- wearing my music critic's hat
I mean, it's clearly not an actual hat- it's metaphorical
And in those 20 years I'm sad- to say these wondrous promenades
Have gone from bad to worse to bad- to pretty crap, to bloody horrible

I admit, I'm a bit of a classical music boffin
And although I've said this often
The final nail in the coffin
Of these Proms is surely imminent
Yes, we survived Nigel effing Kennedy
But surely there's no earthly remedy
For a night of so-called comedy
Hostеd by an immigrant

Why they insist on this tosh it's a mystery
Classical music and laughter don't mix you see
Onе hundred and sixty years of history
Tossed away for a cheap guffaw
One of our nation's finest traditions
Some of our country's finest musicians
Forced into humiliating positions
Is nothing sacred anymore?

Classical music should always be
Performed, well, you know, classically
With suitably solemn solemnity
And usually in- three four two three one two three
Now we have this, this "comedy prom"
It's all boom-tish and pom pom pom
What are these BBC idiots on?
Is nothing sacred anymore?
