Favorite Thing: Amarillo was a small town that has been well known in the UK for a long time, mainly due to song that was originally sung by Tony Christie. In 2005 it was re-worked (well mimed) by the comedian Peter Kaye with a host of celebrities in support.
Fondest Memory: The lyrics are as below, join in now please...
When the day is dawning
On a Texas Sunday morning
How I long to be there
With Marie who's waiting for me there
Every lonely city where I hang my hat
Ain't as half as pretty as where my baby's at
Is this the way to Amarillo
Every night I've been hugging my pillow
Dreaming dreams of Amarillo where sweet Marie who waits for me
Show me the way to Amarillo
I've been weeping like a willow
Crying over Amarillo
Where sweet Marie who waits for me
Sha la la lala lalala
Sha la la lala lalala
Sha la la lala lalala
And Marie who waits for me
There's a church bell ringing
Hear the song of joy that it's singing
For the sweet Marie
And the guy who's coming to see her
Just beyond the highway, there's an open plain
And it keeps me going through the wind and rain
Is this the way to Amarillo
Every night I've been hugging my pillow
Dreaming dreams of Amarillo
where sweet Marie who waits for me
Show me the way to Amarillo
I've been weeping like a willow
Cryin over Amarillo
where sweet Marie who waits for me
Sha la la lala lalala
Sha la la lala lalala
Sha la la lala lalala
