Subject: RE: Lyr Add: What a Wonderful Fish a Sole Is From: GUEST,Alan Beckwith, Bangor, UK. Date: 28 Nov 10 - 08:16 AM My recollection of this as sung by Norval Ripley and his group in Romford, Essex cica 1950: What a wonderful fish the sole is, what wonderful fish are soles. Strange to relate , I am partial to skate, like mackerel, they all swim in shoals. But the best of the bunch the sole is, yes the pick of the bunch are soles. The best of the bunch, yes the best for your lunch, are soles .. are soles .. Of course, the music and pause pattern makes the parody effective but is difficult to show in the written punctuation. |
Subject: RE: Lyr Add: What a wonderful fish are soles From: Joe_F Date: 19 Apr 10 - 06:25 PM Nonrhotically speaking, A sol-, a sol-, a soldier I would be, And pis-, and pis-, and pistols on my knee, For cu-, for cu-, for curiosity, To fight for ****, to fight for ****, to fight for country. |
Subject: Lyr Add: WONDERFUL FISH From: Jim Dixon Date: 19 Apr 10 - 05:03 PM A somewhat different version transcribed from the sound file at CopperDogMusic.com: WONDERFUL FISH As sung by Reg Baldwin What a wonderful fish the sole is! What wonderful fish are soles! I must relate I'm partial to skate When fried or served up as rissoles. What a wonderful fish the sole is! Like mackerel it swims in its shoals, But the sweetest of fish when placed on a dish Are soles, are soles. |
Subject: Lyr Add: WHAT A WONDERFUL FISH A SOLE IS From: Jim Dixon Date: 19 Apr 10 - 04:51 PM Transcribed from the sound file at The British Library Archival Sound Recordings: WHAT A WONDERFUL FISH A SOLE IS [As sung by Sid Fowler, recorded by Roy Palmer, in 1986, at the Nautical Club, Birmingham.] What a wonderful fish a sole is! What a wonderful fish are soles! I'm partial to plaice when laid on a plate, Or even made into rissoles. What a wonderful fish a sole is! Like salmon, they all swim in shoals. But the best of all fish, when laid on a dish, Are soles, are soles, are soles. [I'm not sure, but I suspect he is omitting the final "s" in "soles." Maybe he is treating "sole" as a noun like "sheep," that can be either singular or plural. Who knows? Maybe he's right. The pun works equally well either way.] |

Subject: RE: Lyr Add: What a wonderful fish are soles From: Jim Dixon Date: 23 Apr 07 - 11:04 PM To improve the grammar, omit "a": "What wonderful fish are soles...." etc. |
Subject: RE: Lyr Add: What a wonderful fish are soles From: Joe_F Date: 19 Apr 07 - 11:45 PM Muttley: AFAIK, Nash never did a tease. In general, he kept clear of that kind of naughtiness -- tho he did allude to the region mentioned when he wrote "The best part of a parting guest is the last part out the door". |
Subject: RE: Lyr Add: What a wonderful fish are soles From: Muttley Date: 19 Apr 07 - 02:26 AM That last one sounds a lot like an Ogden Nash poem Mutt |
Subject: RE: Lyr Add: What a wonderful fish are soles From: Joe_F Date: 18 Apr 07 - 10:13 PM Cf.: Of all the fishes in the seas, The strangest is the bass. It climbs into the tops of trees And slides down on its hands and knees To frolic in the grass. |
