Gadzooks, Batman, It's the G-String Gang! Holy Underwear! -- LONDON (Reuters) - Cheeky thieves, dubbed the "G-string Gang" by the British press, made off with thousands of pounds worth of racy underwear after a daylight raid on upmarket lingerie designer Agent Provocateur, a spokesman said on Tuesday. |

They had an idea, a quick way to get rich
We'll break down the door, move as fast as we can,
So they planned and they plotted, there thoughts were all blotted
But as they were leaving, their lungs were still heaving,
The problem they thought was not getting caught
So one of them said, we're not using our heads,
Despite all their haste, it can't go to waste

I had a friend was a minor shoplifter He was cleaver, immoral and quick But he talked me into big trouble With his quick-riches boudoir shtick Now my flat is stacked high up with fashions The bras tower over my head And I can't bring my cute girlfriend over 'Cuz I know she'd cut me dead These G-strings are no use to a feller; As supporters, they're really too tight. And I can't hand them out to the kiddies, For attaching to their kites All the girls I know would be offended And ask what I mean to suggest If I mailed them a corset for Christmas So I think I'll move out West. Yes, I'm bound for the wide open spaces, Where menfolk know just who they are And the gals wear ten-gallons and Levis, Not them see-through bras of stars! I'll change my name and my country And out in the Wild West I'll stay 'Cause I'd rather wrassle a rattler, Than a G-string, any day! |

Come gather round me children, a story you will hear
It was in the City of London, where the rich and famous throng,
And Pretty Boy came a-calling, and he left his calling card
And the police they told the papers, in a manner rather coarse,
They pulled in the usual suspects, and they put them on parade,
But the evidence was scanty, and everyone agreed,
And Pretty Boy went on the run, but he couldn't sell the stuff,
And there's a poor old farmer woke one night, her's the story that he told
"And he left this note behind him, and a parcel for the wife.
Well, as through the world I've rambled, I've seen funny men galore
Yes, as through this world you ramble, and I don't think that I'm wrong, [ duplicate messages deleted by (a very confused) mudelf ;-) ] |

There was belts for suspenders and bras with no holders To carry the pendulous paps of their owners CHORUS "What is the make of this stuff?" then I asked When your man whispered till me, I let out a gasp "Good people of Ulster, don't part with your cash And buy any of this Republican trash!" "Republican, how?" Brother Sammy did say "A look at the label will gave it away … For these knickers are made in Falls, believe me, It says PROVO-cateur quite plainly to see!" CHORUS Our anger boiled over; we true sons of Bill, Destroyed every stitch, every ribbon and frill And trampled the rags into the thick clay That's the blight of each farmer who farms near Lough Neagh And we stood as one man when our work it was done And the songs of our heritage loudly we sung "The Boyne Water", "The Sash" and "The Magheralin Ducks" And "Don't Wear Any Pants That Are Made By The Chucks" CHORUS

I couldn't take time for this Challenge! until after the NW Folklife Festival, and I haven't read the other entries yet (except titles), so here's my humble offering. (I say "humble" because it's extremely derivative of the Winter Wonderland parody sung (and written?) by Bob Rivers. I also took the liberty of presuming to know the thieves' gender and motive.)

30 May 02 - 05:43 PM (#720463) Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! - Part 81 (We're Back!!) From: Genie Aisle Of Lingerie Parody of "Isle of Innisfree," based on "The Lake Isle Of Innisfree" by William Butler Yeats; tune: "Dreams of Alwyn" I've met some folks who say that I'm a lecher, And I've no doubt that what the say is right, But, sure, a bloke is bound to be a lecher With ladies' wearing things so sheer and tight. And frilly undies set my heart a beatin'. They take me where me fancy loves to play, Especially when they're silk and have no seat in. That's why I filched that Aisle Of Lingerie. And when the moon is peeping through the panties Of some fair damsel, on a windy day, To cop a feel is all that I am after. I'm once again seduced by lingerie. I dream of ladies' dreamy mounds and valleys-- A luscious piece no man could e'er forego. I love those 'birds' whose knickers fit so tightly I get the shivers and my juices flow. So searching for that precious stock I wandered; "Provocateur's" storeroom I did behold. The thongs and bustiers and bras I gathered, And all the teddies that my arms could hold. But, oh, alas, my dreams must be forgotten, I dare not sell or give these things away, Lest they should trace the footprints of my bold lust, Still I'll enjoy my Aisle of Lingerie.

30 May 02 - 08:02 PM (#720512) Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! - Part 81 (We're Back!!) From: Áine Genie - two hurt-my-sides-laughing entries!! Here are your B.L.O.B.s for these titillating tidbits: Lacy undies make me feel so naughty Make my "glutes' and 'pecs" feel, oh, so sweet! I love to feel 'em on my manly body And give myself a wedgie for a treat! AND And frilly undies set my heart a beatin'. They take me where me fancy loves to play, Especially when they're silk and have no seat in. That's why I filched that Aisle Of Lingerie. Fan-fanny-tastic!! ;-) -- Áine |
31 May 02 - 04:11 PM (#720731) Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! - Part 81 (We're Back!!) From: Genie Shuck, 'twarn't nuthin'. BTW, I meant to post a note telling all you other folks--Deda, Derry, Amos, Susan-- heck, ALL of youse!--what a riot your poetic musing are, but I accidentally posted my last entry over it, instead of below it. So, anyway, my belated kudos to you all! (and I HAVE ROTFLMFAO!) Genie |
01 Jun 02 - 12:10 AM (#720912) Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! - Part 81 (We're Back!!) From: Genie Amos, your verse about handing out g-strings to the kiddies to attach to their kites or mailing them to girls for Christmas is "sheer" lunacy! BTW, Susan, your lingerie spiritual is downright uplifting!
Derry, you're in exquisite form with: Genie §;-D

02 Jun 02 - 01:30 AM (#721430) Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! - Part 81 (We're Back!!) From: Genie You folks probably already caught this boo-boo, but [due to an overreaching computer "replace" command, no doubt] Yeats's poem title turned into "The Lake Aisle of Lingerie" instead of "The Lake Isle of Innisfree." I don't suppose there's a Joe Clone lurking nearby who can correct it, is there? If not, I hope the readers see the humor in the screw-up! [W.B., old boy, if you're turning over in your grave, my deepest apologies!] Genie typo corrected by mudelf per request ;-) |
