DOGHOUSE (8pm)

‘Twas the Friday before Christmas, 
When all through the Polka, 
Not a creature was sober,
Not even Daz or Fiona,
Doghouse were in, 
All merry and mad,
With classic rock and pork pies to be had,
We’ll be here until midnight!
So, hear us say, 
Happy Christmas to all and to all a goodnight!
