John M. Lyr Add: 'Go Kiss Your Pa!' trad. bawdy song?? (12) Lyr Add: 'Go Kiss Your Pa!' trad. bawdy song?? 20 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:  "Go Kiss Your Pa!"    (recording)
 


              1.  Do you sing "Go Kiss Your Pa!"? 
              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

GO KISS YOUR PA!    (recording)

She lay down upon bed
So fresh, so fair, so chubby
And I lay down beside her
And in each hand a bubby

I looked into her glistening eyes,
Beneath her chin did chuck her
Her legs with mine did intertwine
And I began to [whistle] her.

"Pull out", she cried. "Don't spin inside
Or I'll get into trouble."
I pulled it out and on her breast
A stream did spurt and bubble

I looked again into her eyes
And into laughter burst
I said, "I guess that's the youngest child
That ever you have nursed."

She scooped it up with one fair hand
And with a sweet ha ha
She threw it in my face and cried
"Go child and kiss your pa!"

You asked me to sing you a bit of a song, well...


Notes: This is transcribed from a field recording of Ebb Wren of Forbes, Australia as recorded by John Meredith and Rob Willis on 19 May 1989. 

The reason I titled this thread "'Go Kiss Your Pa!'  trad. bawdy song??"  is because I only have one example of this poem being SUNG.  Does anyone else sing this?  If yes, to what tune?
