Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Greensleeves - parodies
I remember lines from two verses, probably from different versions but appear in some of the above versions.

Woke up this morning
Got out of bed
With an urge to paint the garden shed
Fell off the ladder and onto my head
And now my jacket has green sleeves

And

My true love works in a village shop
Selling lettuce and bottles of pop
I bought half a pound of asparagus tips
And fell for the smile on her ruby fed lips
Greenstamps was all she offered and green stamps was all I took
So I took my green stamps home with me
To fill all the pages in my Greenstamps book
