Thread Name: Origi:When the train is in the station(Humoresque)
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: When the train is in the station
My dad used to sing: Gentlemen will please refrain From passing water while the train Is standing in the station (we thank you)
On a ship it doesny matter Everything goes in the watter (This applies to lady users too)
The rhyming of matter and watter makes me think this was a local (Scotland or possibly just Glasgow) variant.
