All I know is this snippet ....They put it in the kettle and they couldn't get it out and everybody took a turn to suck it through the spout In that Old Bazaar in Kabul. Thanks, Bert. |

18 Aug 97 - 07:05 PM (#10711) Subject: Lyr Add: IN THE OLD BAZAAR IN CAIRO From: alison HI Here goes IN THE OLD BAZAAR IN CAIRO (Chester, Morris, Ford) Sand bags, wind bags, camels with a hump, Fat girls, thin girls, some a little plump, Slave girls sold here, fifty bob a lump, In the old bazaar in Cairo. Brandy, shandy, beer without a froth, Braces, laces, a candle for the moth. Bet you'd look a smasher in an old loin cloth, In the old bazaar in Cairo. You can buy most anything, Thin bulls, fat cows, a little bit of string, You can purchase anything you wish, A clock, a dish and something for your Auntie Nellie, Harem, scarem, what d'ya think of that, Bare knees, striptease, dancing on the mat, Umpa! Umpa! That's enough of that, In the old bazaar in Cairo. Rice pud, very good, what's it all about, Made it in a kettle and they couldn't get it out, Everybody took a turn to suck it through the spout, In the old bazaar in Cairo. Mamadan, Ramadan, everything in style, Genuine, beduine carpet with a pile, Funny little odds and ends floating down the Nile, From the old bazaar in Cairo. You can buy most anything, Sheeps eyes, sand pies, a watch without a spring, You can buy a pomegranate too, A water-bag, a little bit of hokey pokey, Yashmaks, pontefracts, what a strange affair, Dark girls, fair girls, some with ginger hair, The rest of it is funny but they censor it out there, In the old bazaar in Cairo.

09 Nov 04 - 07:56 AM (#1321317) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Old Bazaar in Kabul From: GUEST,Phil Try this link :- http://lyricsplayground.com/alpha/songs/i/intheoldbazaarincairo.shtml They credit it to Charlie Chester / K. Morris / Clinton Ford. I heard it recently on radio and looked it up on the web but as I recall, it was only one person singing it. The others might have been contributing writers (and with "cheeky" Charlie Chester, it seems very like the type of risque song he'd sing). |

All I could remember was the bit about the rice pudding in the kettle, and the little bit of string. My Dad used to sing this when he was drunk, but couldn't remember it when he was sober. I will be singing it to a Finnish audience this summer to impress them with British culture. Thanks a lot. Jillian |

26 Nov 18 - 07:40 PM (#3963471) Subject: RE: Lyr Req/Add: Old Bazaar in Kabul / Cairo From: GUEST It must be Cairo not Kabul, not only for the reference to the Nile but it was written in 1948 when the British still had a military presence in Egypt, so in the Charlie Chester version which I haven't seen the full lyrics of, there are references to coupons because of rationing and to ginger headed kids because British Soldiers do what all soldiers do when billeted abroad |
