John M. Lyr Add: 'Rhode Island Red' a trad.(?) bawdy song (4) Lyr Add: 'Rhode Island Red' a trad.(?) bawdy song 19 May 05


Hello everyone,

If you are easily offended, please STOP READING.   This thread is for mature audiences only.  Please don't post "dreadful song" or "worst song written" as you are not helping. 

Below is a traditional bawdy song titled:  "Rhode Island Red"   ( recording  99KB )


              1.  Do you sing this song? 
              2.  If yes, when and where did you learn it?
              3.  Would you be willing to sing it for folklore purposes over the phone?


Any help is appreciated.

Sincerely,

John Mehlberg

RHODE ISLAND RED   ( recording  99KB )

Has anyone seen my cock
My big Rhode Island Red
He's mostly pink with a little bit of blue
And purple round his head
He stands right up in the morning
And he gives my wife a shock
Has anybody seen (has anybody seen)
Has anybody seen my cock

Spoken:

He is a right big headed little upstart
The best you've ever seen
He could have gotten gonorrhea
Instead he got gangrene
He should have worn a condom
But the silly sod forgot

Has anybody seen (has anybody seen)
Has anybody seen my cock
My big Rhode Island Red
He's mostly pink with a little bit of blue
And purple round his head
He stands right up in the morning
And he gives my wife a shock
Has anybody seen (has anybody seen)
Has anybody seen my cock


Notes: This is transcribed from the singing of Sudsuckin' Bigfoot and Enter the Gerbil and was recorded on 15 April 2004.
