27 Aug 01 - 09:01 PM (#536468) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: My name is Clarence From: McGrath of Harlow No, he doesn't want to be a woman. It's just he keeps on running into these characters in macho roles who then turn out to be not so macho at all, and tell him they thin he's rather attractive.
The man who wrote it was along to the Buntingford sing-in last November, but his name has slipped away for the time being.
Appropriately enough, it's an ambiguous song - it can be sung in a way that is intolerant and anti-gay; but it can also be done in a way that is about as anti-gay as Priscilla Queen of the Desert. |

Someone else has requested the words, and I said that I would be able to get hold of them. Just using a different method, having discovered Mudcats!!! Gillie |

29 Aug 01 - 06:44 PM (#537760) Subject: ADD: My name is Clarence^^ From: Rank Song written by Mitch who hails from Worksop. I requested this last night at the Kiveton Club, Kiveton Colliery Cricket Club, Stone Close, Kiveton, Near Sheffield, every Tuesday 9-11. Singers club, mainly trad, but anything goes really. While sitting in a hostelry, alone one Sunday night, A fella came across to me and asked me for a light, He offered me a cigarette; he bought me half a beer, And we were getting friendly when he whispered in my ear. Chorus: "My proper name is Clarence, but you can call me Clare, I wear sexy undies and I peroxide my hair, My politics are liberal, my outlook's liberal too, In fact my dear, I'm a little bit queer and I've taken a shine to you." Well I supped my jar; I left that bar, faster than a scalded cat, Caught the landlord's eye as I went by and I stopped just for a chat, I said, "Hey, he's propositioned me. Do you allow that there 'ere?" Well he didn't get riled, in fact he just smiled and he whispered in my ear. Well off I did go, to the new disco, to find myself a bride, Picked up this pearl of a pastry girl, took her for a ride, In the back of the car, I got so far, then I froze with fear, When I felt a lump and my heart went thump and a voice whispered in my ear. Next day at eight, I called my mate, he promised not to tell, By a quarter to nine the production line, the foreman knew as well, They called me misses and they blew me kisses, the boss he got to hear, For me he sent, to the office I went and he whispered in my ear. I joined the health service, to train to be a nurse, With stethoscope and fob watch, with pride I fair did burst, My charge nurse said he'd teach me, the kiss of life technique, Well first he turned the lights down and when he began to speak, he said, "My proper name is Clarence, but you can call me Clare, I wear sexy undies and I peroxide my hair, My politics are liberal, my outlook's liberal too, In fact my dear, I'm a little bit queer and I've taken a shine to you. In fact my dears, thanks for having me here, God bless, good night to you." ^^ |

31 Aug 01 - 05:04 PM (#539222) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: My name is Clarence From: John MacKenzie Sweetest little fellow, Everybody knows. Don't know what to call him, but we think he's one of those. When running for a tram-car, or a trolley bus. He trips so light and dainty, that we think he's one of us. Tune:- "Mighty like a rose" Don't know the origins of this, or any other verses, but seem to have known this bit forever. Jock |

31 Aug 01 - 11:50 PM (#539460) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: My name is Clarence From: Joe Offer Jock, is it "Clarence" that's sung to the tune for "Mighty Like a Rose"? I just found the sheet music for that one. Well, this site says it's sung to the tune of "Eaton Boating Song," not that I know where to find the tune to THAT. -Joe Offer- |

01 Sep 01 - 03:56 AM (#539512) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: My name is Clarence From: John MacKenzie Joe, Clarence is sung to the tune of the Eton boating song, which is I'm sure used for other parodies but can't think of any for now. It is the one I quoted, that is sung to the "Mighty like a rose" tune, and it is a totally different song. |
