Lyr Add: The Farting Lass - Parting Glass parody

At the Robin Hood Fair (at Hammond Castle in Gloucester Mass., weekend of July 14/15) Friar Tuck sang a song about his one true love, and how she was killed by the explosion that occurred when he lit a match to find out what the foul aroma was after they made love. Now, far be it from me to imply that I would sing such a tasteless song myself, :) but I'm sure some people would enjoy seeing the words. So, does anyone know the words to The Farting Lass?

By the way, before posting this thread I did a Digitrad and Forum search for the song (of course.) When Farting Lass didn't show up, I did a search on the word "farting". Did you know that there are 35 screens worth of postings which include the word "farting" in them? (Just one of those interesting pieces of trivia.)

THE FARTING LASS
(Frank Dixon)
(to the tune of "The Parting Glass")

Of all the sweethearts e'er I had
The fairest was sweet Shirley Wood
For when other lasses would not be bad
You were always certain that she surely would

She had a really big (boom boom)
And quite a nice set of (boom boom)
And other parts that inspire romance
But one night she showed me her tragic flaw
A flaw that you'd call flatulence

Well we ate all day for the food was free
And that night we made love as we often would
Then I struck a match for I wished to see
What it was in her room that did not smell good

The mattress was blown (boom boom)
Right through the floor (boom boom)
And I was blown right through the door
Thus ends the tale of the Farting Lass
For alas, her farting little tail's no more

(Hold for ovation, wipe away tear)

I have enjoyed Frank's twisted renditions of many a tune over the years....

Thanks, MMario. Frank Dixon was playing the role of Friar Tuck (and a lovely job he did of it too.) Now I know that the performer of the song was also its perpetrator.
