John M. Lyr(rude) req: She's a ragbag shabag (8) RE: Lyr(rude) req: She's a ragbag shabag 01 Feb 05


Hello everyone,

The song "Shagbag, Ragbag" is known to me as  "Who is Sylvia?" or "My Girl"  (recording)


                Do you sing this song?  If so when/where did you learn it?


Any help is appreciated.

Sincerely,

John Mehlberg

WHO IS SYLVIA?  (recording)

Who is Sylvia?
What is she?

She's a rag bag, a shag bag, an automatic whore.
She's got a fanny like a big barn door
She can run, skip and jump
Catch a barrel up her cunt.
She's the girl for me.


Notes:  This is transcribed from the Medical Students Sing Rugby Songs [1970] the last of the Sportsdic rugby records series.  The "Rag bag, shag bag..." verse is sung to "Turkey in the Straw".  This song is also found on The I's Reunion Record (1986) a New Zealand 45 record under the title "My Girl".   Compare this song with Mary Anne Burns (the Queen of all the Acrobats). 


Recordings:

  • Sportsdic Records
  • Intercoursers Records/Rugby Records. [Recorded September 1986, Palmerston North.]
