GUEST,Beverly Origins: what became of the monk? (Animal Fair) (72* d) RE: Lyr Req: what became of the monk? (Animal Fair) 27 Aug 07


My father always said.............

The Dutchess County Fair
The cats and the dogs will be there
The big baboon by the light of the moon was combing his curly hair

The monkey he got drunk
He sat on the elephants trunk
The elephant sneezed and fell on his knees
And what became of the monk? The drunk?

It is so intersting to see how this local fair song evolved from an older rhyme/song. I always wondered where it came from. Thank you all for your interesting tidbits!

Beverly
