And I posted back what my friend Allan Schwinn sings this as an intro to "The Ship Song" (which I can post the words to, but it's not bawdy, and is under copyright, but I don't know who wrote it). What he sings is: I saw her snatch.........her suitcase from the closet I grabbed her butt.........time was growing short I kissed her ass.............the taxi came to take her To see her brother Jack.........off on the train He says he got it years ago from some comedian.

05 Feb 02 - 05:11 AM (#642803) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Some bawdy drinking song??? From: Dave Bryant I assume that Clinton is the other side of the ditch as the description "Celtic Music" has no such connotation over here in the UK. I'm not used to it being particularly linked to "Pub" music as a category either. There are bawdy songs in most genres, but I would have thought that unless we're talking about Celtic rugby supporters that Celtic music is no raunchier than any other. |

My usual response to the innane question "Do you play and Celtic music?" is, "Sorry, the Celts were extinct long before I had a chance to learn any of thier music." |

23 Dec 05 - 11:47 AM (#1633856) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Some bawdy drinking song??? From: GUEST,Nick Romano This song was preformed by The Treniers, who were an R&B group during the 40's and are credited by some as the group that first started Rock & Roll. To the best of my knowledge the song title is "I Saw Her Snatch". Milt Trenier can still be seen singing this song in Chicago, though if you go to see him you might have to request it. I have only seen this done as duet. The following is my recollection of the song. I don't know how to best write this out and will be using an "..." to indicate a hold for two beats of the music. 1: I saw her snatch... 2: What are you singing you can't sing that! 1: What? 2: You can't sing a song like that in front of these fine people. 1: All I was going to say was; I saw her snatch... her suitcase from the window. 2: Oh, alright. 1: I saw her snatch… her suitcase from the window. I held her but... 2: Hold it, hold it. What are you doing? 1: What? 2: You just can't sing a song like this! 1: Why? I was just going to sing; I held her but... a moment in the rain. 2: That's it? 1: Yes 2: Ok 1: I saw her snatch... her suitcase from the window. I held her but... a moment in the rain. I kissed as... 2: That's it! Stop right there! 1: All I was singing was; I kissed her as... she departed for the station. 2: look, just do me a favor. Keep it closer together, and don't pause like that. 1: Keep it closer together? 2: Yes, please. 1: Alright. 2: Thank you. 1: I saw her snatchher suitcase from the window. I held her buta moment in the rain. I kissed her asshe departed for the station. To see her bother Jack off on the train. |

06 May 09 - 10:51 AM (#2625438) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Some bawdy drinking song??? From: Bat Goddess Our friend Allan Schwinn sings this as an intro to another song originally sent me those words instead of the intro. A few years ago I asked him for his source and he replied -- "I heard a standup comedian do something like this before dirt was invented. I changed the words a bit so it would fit to music. I then added it to the beginning of the ship song which is somewhat from another comedian. The total final arrangement is mine. No copyright existed then.....but it does now. I guess the source is me [Allan Schwinn]. What he sings is: I saw her snatch.........her suitcase from the closet I grabbed her butt.........time was growing short I kissed her ass.............the taxi came to take her To see her brother Jack.........off on the train Then he goes into "The Ship Song" (which is under copyright, but he doesn't know who wrote it) -- Everytime we take a trip you always get my goat. I like traveling on a plane....you like a ferry boat. Well, the next time we go traveling, Ships are out and I declare; You go your way, I'll go mine; I'll met you over there. Go take a ship for yourself. I'll go by plane or by myself. If you can't fly in planes, Ride in busses or in trains, Then go take a ship for yourself. Take a battleship, an excursion ship Or a fishing ship will do. If you can't take a big ship Then take a small canoe. Bon voyage to you my friend, I'll meet you at the journey's end, If you like briny seas, ocean waves and an ocean breeze Then go take a ship for yourself. |
