Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Princess Royal. Lyrics required.
with a little gently easing, the poem " the ballad of the good Lord nelson" by Laurence Durrell can be coaxed to fit and it makes a right good song!! including the immortal verses

" so there he stands with a phallic air
Nelson stylites in Trafalgar Square
to remind the British of what Once they were
on board the good ship Victory

If we treated women in the Nelson way
there'd be fewer frigid husbands every day
and a lot more heroes on the Bay of Biscay
on board the good ship Victory!"
