29 Nov 03 - 11:55 AM (#1062823) Subject: Lyr Req: Side by Side From: GUEST,robloes@onetel.com I remember some of an old rugby song (I do not think it has any rude words in it!!) sung to the tune of Side by side where the man marries a woman who on their first night starts to take off a whole variety of things including wig, glass eye, false leg etc and ends with the wonderful line "I slept on the chair cos there was more of her there - side by side". Does any one know the full lyrics and chords? Thanks Bob |

Then to my amazement,a glass eye she removed wooden arm,wooden leg,she laid there on the stool Now me wife and I we are parted,just the same as we started Now I sleep on the chair,'cause there's more of her there Side by side. |

29 Nov 03 - 03:09 PM (#1062896) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Side by Side (Parody) From: GUEST have a slightly different version of this song for you. The third verse wavers from the rest of the song melody wise, but i cant explain how. an english folk singer called Sheb or shep wooley used to do it. also sung by a group from Co Cork Ireland called natural gas. I got married on sunday, The party lasted till monday As we staggered off home, To our honeymoon home Side by side Started getting ready for bed then, I nearly dropped dead when, her teeth and her hair she placed on the chair Side bt side. She took off her left leg, popped out her glass eye so small Then along with her padded bra She placed on the chair by the wall, Now i'm so broken hearted, From most of my wife i've been parted, So i slept on the chair There was more of her there Side by side |

It's very, very close to the version the Chad Mitchell Trio did back in the early '60s, at least as I remember it. |

29 Nov 03 - 11:29 PM (#1063085) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Side by Side (Parody) From: Joe Offer Ach, I missed the DT version when I was doing crosslinks on these threads today. Defective brides with glass eyes seem to be very common in the experience of folk musicians. The genre has its own classification in the Digital Tradition, #651. Let's see if I can make a link that will pull them up: (click here to search). Speaking of defective brides, there's at least one about a defective husband: (click here) I suppose I also have to include this one. -Joe Offer- |

01 Feb 11 - 12:11 AM (#3086378) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Side by Side (Parody) From: GUEST,Robert I have another version, similar to those already posted, but I am short one line. Can anyone help please? It wasn't long after the wedding Till tears of regret I was shedding I dreamt dreams of love With my little dove Side by side First it was her teeth on the table .................. (I need this line) Till she laid her cork legs Out on the bed Side by side I stared in blank amazement At her glass eye so small And I very nearly fainted When she hung her hair on the wall God blimey! I stood there broken hearted With half of my wife I had parted So I slept on the chair There was more of her there Side by side |

01 Feb 11 - 11:33 AM (#3086649) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Side by Side (Parody) From: Bernard I first heard this sung over forty years ago, and when I finally decided to add it to my own repertoire I couldn't find the words (pre-internet days), so I made up my own based upon what I could remember... I really thought it was my day Till we went to our room, The new bride and groom Side by side. We got ready for bed, then And I nearly dropped dead, when Her leg and her hair She laid on the chair Side by side Her glass eye was followed Closely by her teeth When she took off her Playtex Long Line There was nothing underneath. I was really downhearted From most of my wife I was parted So I slept on the chair, Cos there was more of her there Side by side. I really must get a new Folk Processor! |

14 Jan 12 - 06:18 PM (#3290711) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Side by Side (Parody) From: GUEST,Charley The version I learned in the late sixties was from the Scottish folk singers The Corries: We go married on Friday, The Vicar said it was my day, When they were gone And we were alone, Side By Side. We got ready for bed then, I nearly dropped dead when Her false teeth and hair She laid on the chair, Side By Side. The to my amazement, Her little glass eyes so small, Her arms and legs beside them, She laid on the chair by the wall... Now my baby and me we are parted, And when we'd only just started, I sleep on the chair, ('cause there's more of her there), Side By Side. |

15 Jan 12 - 10:42 AM (#3290912) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Side by Side (Parody) From: Flash Company Seem to remember a parody of Side by Side about public transport, included the following:- A Girl with an umberella, was poking me, Oh heck And a great big ugly Fella kept breathing down my neck, When we'd paid we were all of us carted, Into the train and it started, We must travel it seems, packed like sardines, Side by side. Nothing changes! FC |

15 Jan 12 - 12:19 PM (#3290952) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Side by Side (Parody) From: GUEST,SteveG I'm sure this has been another thread. These false parts songs go back at least to the 17th century, one about Hyde Park Ramble. I wrote an article on the history of them which is on the Mustrad website under the Dungbeetle Articles. Joe, can you put in a blue clicky for us please? |
