Thread Name: Help: Playboy Playmates...and songs about them
Subject: RE: Help: Playboy Playmates
Isn't this an early American ballad? As I recall, the first two lines are:

Come all ye Playboy Playmates, wherever ye may be
I hope you'll pay attention, and listen unto me
For well ye know the shimmy, and the rassle and the blow
That keeps the money coming in, in the house in Chicago

When first I left my native farm, a tender miss alone
I had just a pair of thirty-eights, nothing else to call my own
Oh little did I understand the whacky rodeo
That I soon would be embroiled among in the house in Chicago

I forget the rest. I think Donovan sang it.
