Thread Name: Aunty Mary Had a Canary - where?
Subject: RE: Aunty Mary Had a Canary - where?
This is another version of the Auntie Mary had a canary etc. Same tune.

Ooshallalla, ooshallalla, lost the leg o me drawers.
Ooshallalla, ooshallalla, won't you lend me yours.
Can't go out with the boys tonight, ain't got any to wear.
Ooshallalla, ooshallalla, won't you lend me a pair.

I'm from London, who knows where it came from, soldiers I suspect.

Here's another one.

A sol. A sol, a soldier I must be,
To fight for the old count', fight for the old count'
Fight for the old country.
Two pis', two pis', two pistols on my knee,
To fight for the old count', fight for the old count'.
Fight for the old countreeeee.

Also remember 'One two three alairy, my balls down the airy'.

Can't remember the beginning but there was a song about soccer and it went..

Where was the goalie when the ball was in the net.
Hanging from the goalpost with his trousers round his neck.
Singing....ask no questions tell no lies.
Ever seen a chinaman doing up his
flies...are dangerous, bugs are worse.
That's the end of the Chinese verse.

Don't write songs like that any more.
