The Choirs in the Park evening was arranged by local charity Check-in, and somehow the beautifulPerth committee were persuaded to perform on a chilly night. Guest trumpeter Peter Stevenson from the Take A Pride in Perthshire committee accompanied a lively choir singing When Santa Got Stuck Up The Chimney, complete with chimney. Four verses had been added to come up with a happy ending, and a great time was had by all! Here, for posterity, are the lyrics:

 When Santa got stuck up the chimney, he began to shout,

"You girls and boys won't get any toys if you don't help me out!

My beard is black, there's soot in my sack, my nose is tickley too!"

When Santa Got stuck up the chimney, "Atchoo! Atchoo!, Atchoo!"

When Santa got stuck up the chimney, he began to sob,

"It's dark in here, ah'm gripped by a fear and ah cannae get oan wi' ma job!

Though ah'm up wi' the lark, ah'm scared o' the dark and ah'm getin' a wee bit cheesed off!"

When Santa got stuck up the chimney, "Oh cough, Oh cough! Oh cough!"

When Santa got stuck up the chimney, he began to roar,

"Wi' ma boots in the air and ma tangley hair ah just cannae get doon tae the floor!

Ah'm danglin' high, hauf wey up tae the sky, and ah'm gonnae be a' black an' blue!"

When Santa got stuck up the chimney, "Boo hoo, Boo hoo, Boo hoo!"

When Santa got stuck up the chimney he began to cry,

"It's awfully cauld and ah'm feelin' right auld and ah think ah could actually die!

Ah'm singin' this song, but ah've goat tae get oan! The kiddies'll get a raw deal!"

When Santa got stuck up the chimney, "Oh squeal, Oh, squeal, Oh squeal!"

When Santa got stuck up the chimney, he beagn to smile

With a pull on his legs and a tug on his kex, he landed right on the shagpile

He got back to earth, thanks to beautifulPerth, Who're accustomed to saving the day!

When Santa got out of the chimney, "Hooray!, Hooray!, Hooray!"
