I am in need of a folk or novelty type song with nine words in the title. Could anyone help me out?

The longest I could find was:
"The song of McGuillicuddy the pussilanimous or don't worry James your socks are hanging in the coal cellar with Thomas". 20.

And there's always:
"Several species of small furry animals gathered together in a cave and grooving with a pict". 16.

I was going to ask Why? But that's been partly answered. Is this your own idea or are others doing it too?

Mo The Caller - It's a challenge from a ukulele group I belong to.
The idea was to begin with a 2 word song and to see how high you can go in a week. It ends this Sunday. These are my entries so far.

2 - Goodbye Booze
3 - Streets Of London
4 - Bird On The Wire
5 - Ever Since The World Ended
6 - Come On Up To The House
7 - Just A Little While To Stay Here
8 - The Blues My Naughty Sweetie Gives To Me
9 - I Ain't Got No Home In This World Anymore
10 - Where Did Robinson Crusoe Go With Friday On Saturday Night?
11 - Does Your Chewing Gum Lose Its Flavour On The Bedpost Overnight?

Thanks to Gerry M for #9 (He suggested the Carter Family song, but I changed it to Woody's version)
Thanks to Steve Shaw for #11.
Anybody got a 12 or 13?

Christine Lavin had a song with the title,

Regretting what I said to you when you called me at eleven o'clock on Friday morning to tell me that one o'clock Friday afternoon you were gonna leave your office, go downstairs, hail a cab, to go out to the airport, to catch a plane, to go skiing in the Alps for two weeks. Not that I wanted to go with you; I wasn't able to leave town, I'm not a very good skier, I couldn't expect you to pay my way, but after going out with you for three years, I don't like surprises. (A Musical Apology)

I lost count of the number of words.

Thanks Gerry. I love Christine's music. I have even had the honour of being a Sensitive New Age Guy.

If I write a song called 'With a Hundred Word Title' I could legitimately say I've written a song with a hundred-word title. Problem is, I'm a crappy songwriter.
