Dear Walt,

Love the lyrics so far, please post the rest! (And more like it, if you've got 'em!)

Reposting this so folks that want a copy don't have to take out all those dad-burned exclamation points:

THE LADYBUG AND THE CENTIPEDE

Oh, the ladybug and the centipede got married;
Oh, the ladybug and the centipede they wed.
On their wedding night , I heard it said,
Fifty-one pairs o' slippers were near that bed!
Hey, ho! Hey, ho! What a wonderful wedding day!

Oh, the ladybug thought the cricket's voice was gentle,
And an ant she knew was likely to succeed,
And the bee had a kiss that was sweet, indeed, --
But none could HUG like her centipede!
Hey, ho! Hey, ho! What a wonderful wedding day!

On their wedding night, they called each other, "Darlin;"
Their happiness was total and complete, --
Until she slipped beneath the sheet,
On her back, fifty pair of cold, cold feet!
Hey, ho! Hey, ho! What a wonderful wedding day ?!

Next day the centipede he came home early, (rabbit!),
And his ladybug looked slyer than a fox.
She was sitting 'neath the hollyhocks,
Knitting lots and lots of little socks,
She winked her eye with a twinkle that seemed to say:
Hey, ho! (Hey, ho!) Hey, ho! (Hey, ho!)
Hey, ho! What a wonderful wedding day!

(This version sung by Leon Bibb.)

Hope it stays put this time!

Dear Bruce,

This is the "makin' nice" thread, not the "makin' whoopee" thread. We let the small fry into this one. Bet there's hardly a grown soul here that doesn't know the euphemisms! If ya wanta talk trash, go hang in the tree house with the rest of the hooligans, or start up a thread o' your own with The title: "Warning: some content unsuitable for tender ears." You'll have to take the flack -- not to mention the filth that follows. (Know some nasty stuff myself; don't like to put it on public display, ... necessarily.) Only milk 'n' honey 'n' treacle served here, if ya please, sir!
