Here it is the start of our AF Christmas songs, don't forget to sing the long Glooooooooooooria in mine.

Please add yours below.

Ding dong, heart rate it is high!

In my chest the beats are pounding

Ding dong, verily I sigh

Am riv’n with beats abounding.

Gloria, AF in excelsis!

**********************

E'en so here I'm low I'm low

Is like steeple bells be swungen

And I know, I know, I know,

Forum friends know how it's sungen.

Gloria, AF in excelsis!

*********************

Pray ye dutifully prime

Your AF chimes, ye ringers;

Breathe ye deeply in rhyme

Your AF cure, ye singers.

Gloria, AF in excelsis!

Jean

The post below was written by me and put on this forum two years ago, very apt for a Christmas reply to you.😁

I wrote this song after a post submitted by someone on the forum who said they'd heard that plum wine was good for us and our hearts.

We three things of AF are

Abnormal beats, tiredness and scar

Feel uncertain, but it's not a hurtin'

So over to yonder bar

-------

Plum wine is mine, its bitter but soon

Gives me a boost, dispels all the gloom,

Sorrowing, sighing that's all a dying

And I'm back in good rhythm soon

-------

Oh bar of wonder, bar of might

Bar with royal booty bright

Drinks a needing, still proceeding

Guide me to thy perfect site

That is so funny lol! Also the first one I have come across being a newbie. You’ve got me singing carols in my head now with AF connections 😂.

BobDVolunteer in reply to Ailsablue

She starts this every year Ailsa and this is probably the best yet. I normally join in but been distracted by having all my corridor walls and ceiling re plastered and clearing up afterwards.

All my windows they do run

With water clear and streaming

Now my Karcher will not work

The battery it is steaming.

(The next word is very rude and repeated ten times) my house is bloody freezing.

(All windows been open)

Come on then, share one with us please. A good tip If you think which Christmas song you could change to make it re AF. Go on YouYube and search for the lyrics. Copy and paste, then change it so it refers to AF.

Here's my little ditty:Away in a cath lab.

Away in a cath lab

Where the air is so cold

I lay my head down

Just as I was told

The EP looked down on me

Wearily sighed

Don't worry my dear

We'll soon have you wired !

I love my heart dearly

So please do take care

To get me in Sinus

And keep me right there!

Going for positive here, Season’s Greetings to all!

Hark the glad sound,

NSR Has come,

The rhythm promised long,

Let every heart prepare to beat

A Sinus Rhythm song.

It comes the prisoners to release

In AF’s bondage held,

The bumps and thumps before it cease,

The painful spasms yield.

It comes ectopic beats to bind,

Fluttering to cure,

And with the peacefulness it brings

Enriches our QOL.

Our glad hosannas rhythm of peace

Your welcome shall proclaim

In houses up and down the land

Sinus Rhythm’s beloved name.

They are great, I’m not very good at this sort of thing but I think the Sonny and Cher song, The Beat Goes On would be very apt for someone to have a play with 😊

These are all fantastic! Merry Christmas everyone! 🎄🎁🎅

Was that your own arrangement? It's excellent Jean!! I shall get my thinking cap on - you have set the bar quite high 😊X

jeanjeannie50 profile image
jeanjeannie50 in reply to Lilypocket

Yes, my arrangement. It's fairly easy, think of a first AF line then copy the Christmas lyrics from YouTube and then change.

Hi, got into this when getting kn*ck*r*d clearing snow. Not much reference to our conditions except in the chorus.

Alternative arrangement to First Noel:

The first snow fell and my wife she did say

“Get the shovel from the garage

And clear it away,

And clear it away

It‘s blocking the street

Outside was brass monkeys

Snow, one metre deep

Oh well, oh well, oh well, oh well

Be careful this thing is real (re e e ai al)

I looked up and saw a car

With headlights on fullbeam that shone from afar

And all around it gave great light

And I continued to shovel with all of my might

Oh well, oh well, oh well, oh well

Be careful this thing is real (re e e ai al)

And by the light of that same car

Three wise guys were walking home from the bar

To clear away the snow was my intent

And to avoid the car

Wherever it went

Oh well, oh well, oh well, oh well

Be careful this thing is real (re e e ai al)

Then staggered up, those wise guys three

And fell to the ground, arse over knee

With them, they had Christmas presents

Whiskey and rum but no common sense

Oh well, oh well, oh well, oh well

Be careful this thing is real (re e e ai al)

So here I‘ll finish before you get bored

Be thankful more verses have been ignored

In total there are seven

That‘s what I was taught

But this tale is bodged

And just food for thought

Oh well, oh well, oh well, oh well

Be careful this thing is real (re e e ai al)

jeanjeannie50 in reply to CDreamer

Looks lovely. I guess this is something you'll have to get used to now that you've moved from Devon. I lived in Hastings Sussex for 3 years after I was married and I remember having snow there. I've added a verse to your 12 Days of Christmas.

come and join the celebration

Its a very special day

I’ve been and had an ablation

Nothing else for me to say

Pacemaker’s working

Flashing lights for half the night

Lots of bruises

Bet that I look quite a fright

But come and join the celebration

My AV node gone up in smoke

Except that I feli it

And that was quite beyond a joke

Here's one for all the afibbers living in the UK and the United States. Sung to Hark the Herald Angels Sing.

Hark! the EPs and Doctors say,

Your heart is beating way too fast

What shall we do What shall we do

Let’s try ablation and get paid too

If that doesn’t work here’s what we’ll do

We’ll send them home and let them stew

Then when they call, we will not answer

We’ll be just like Rudolph, and Prancer

In the skies flying on our merry way

To the Isles for a holiday stay

When we get back our appointments will be overflowing

And our purse’s will be steadily growing

It’s great to be a doctor here and partake of the Holiday Cheer!

Hiya Jean, to Slade's Merry Christmas Everybody

Does your AFib drive you crazy up the wall

It's the time when every heartbeat has a fall

Does it hide a proper rhythm

Does it always want to play

Do the medies keep it going for a day

So here it is, Merry Christmas

Everybody's having fun

Look to the future now

It's only just begun

(Feel free to continue)
