Subject: RE: Grand Old Duke of York lyrics
Doug Chadwick,

One good tale of scandal deserving another, your tabloid version about the Duke's distaff side brings to mind a verse whipped out some years ago by the ska singer, Judge Dread:

Oh the noble Duke of York,
He had ten thousand men,
And if he'd had the energy,
He'd have had them all again!
