Paul-

You aren't suggesting that the "Landlady" in Hullabaloo-Belay was in drag:

Me mother kept a boarding house...

When Jone's Ale Was New has several verses about a landlord's daughter.

And there's this miscallenous music hall verse:

If you've never been the lover
Of the landlady's daughter
Then you can't have another
Piece of pie.

And there's this song that I harvested some time ago from Mudcat:

From the sound track of "The Wicker Man" as composed or arranged by Paul Giovanni

The Landlord's Daughter

Much has been said of the strumpets of yore,
Of wenches and bawdy-house queens by the score,
But I sing of the baggage that we all adore:
The Landlord's Daughter!*
You'll never love another,
Although she's not the kind of girl to take home to your mother.

Her ale it is lively and strong to the taste,
It is brewed with discretion, never with haste;
You can have all you like if you'll swear not to waste
The Landlord's Daughter!
And when her name is mentioned
The puds of every gentleman do stand up at attention.

Now there's Jane of The Blossom and Doll of The Crown,
Wenchy Kate of The Garter and Star in town,**
Fat Dorrie who keeps her Red Heart of Renown,
But I'll take the Landlord's Daughter!
For nothing can delight so
As does the part that lies between her left toe and her right toe!

*There is an additional verse that didn't make it into the movie:

Her lips are as roses, her wine is a treat,
Her whiskey is good and her figger is neat,
And while she is serving her bitter, she's sweet -
The Landlord's Daughter!

**At least one person in the movie seems to sing, "When she takes off her garter it's all undone." It may just be that they have thick
accents and are supposed to be very drunk in this scene!^^
