23 Jan 20 - 12:41 PM (#4029795) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Arseholes are Cheap Today From: Senoufou The tune used to be 'La donna e mobile' when I heard this bellowed out as a rugby song in the sixties, but for all I know it might also have been sung to Ta Ra Ra Boom De Ay. The words I heard were:- Aresholes are cheap today, Cheaper than yesterday. Little boys are half-a-crown, Standing up or lying down. Bigger ones are three-and-six. They can take much bigger p***** And in the action Give more satisfaction. Dreadful song isn't it? But as students then we all thought it was tremendously funny! |

24 Jan 20 - 04:05 AM (#4029872) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Arseholes are Cheap Today From: Senoufou I seem to remember another rugby song based on the Twelve Days of Christmas, which went down the list and ended with '...two choirboys, and my Lord Montague of Beaulieu'. |

Just use the filter/search feature to locate the threads about Ta-Ra-Ra-Boom-De-Ay, especially if the thread is qualified by "(not for kids)" , and Mae West, both of 'em, will come out to play. |

News to me, I'd only heard of him as a vintage car buff. But apparently he used to crank the starting handle at both ends. Is there a version of the song that refers to him unambiguously? |

Ten little Bugger Boys Ten little Bugger Boys, drinking deep of wine Got so tight at Fitz' Bar they counted only nine; Nine little Bugger Boys, finding it was late Left a lad in Leicester Square: and then there were eight. Eight little Bugger Boys, dreaming still of heaven, Met a lusty sodomite: and then there were seven. Seven little Bugger Boys, in an awkward fix, Saw a copper standing by: and then there were six. Six little Bugger Boys -- all now left alive -- Buggered one another till they only reckoned five! Five little Bugger Boys, bottoms very sore, Played at tossing Freddy off until there were four. ... but 4 3 2 1 0 are missing Any ideas? ==== |
