Thread Name: Origins: Tale of a Guinea Pig (G Newman/M Gideon)
Subject: RE: Origins: How can a guinea pig show he's pleased?
I think there's at least one more verse. My grandmother used to sing it to me, and told me she won a talent competition when she was a child singing it on a boat from the US to the UK in the early 20's. The only two extra lines I can remember were when the guinea pig tried to propose, and it all went wrong with:
"She'd return his ring with thanks
When she found out he was Manx"
I'd love to find out the rest!
