Subject: RE: Shortest song ever
Discussion on wireless at height of Clinton affair as to why there were no songs about it---conclusion-- difficulty over young lady"s name.
When my head hit the pillow that night the following came to me:--

Bill Clinton is a nottar loon and aa bet he wishes he wisnae,
On Setturday nichts he got his licks fae a lassie cried Lewinskay.





To get your licks in Scotland, to folk of my generation, was to have the palms of your hand whacked by the leather tawse wielded by the teacher. When I sang this, from the laughter of the young people in the audience, I take it that to get your licks has a more modern meaning to them.

Nottar loon---notorious chap.
Cried---------called.
