Description
This is a parody of the old Christmas Carol "Past 3 o'clock" but in this version the choir is singing and annoying the neighbour at 2 in the morning.
There are two versions of this piece - the one in C gives the basses some bottom Cs, the one in D gives the first tenors some top Bs
There are also versions for ATBarB and SATB.
The sound sample here is an electronic preview on brass instruments, but if you would like to hear the composer sing the ATBarB version the video is here

Here are the lyrics:
Past two o'clock
all singing and dancing
past two o'clock
the party's in full flow
pity the neighbour
do him a favour
give him some earplugs
for good behaviour
sing to him gentle
or he'll go mental
he's started shouting
words non-parental
his ears are ringing
stones he'll start flinging
he doesn't like the
songs that we're singing
He's pulled the fuse now
We'll have to choose now
whether to stop and
admit that we lose now
despite that fellah
we're feelin' mellah
since we're unplugged
we'll sing a cappella
