GUEST,MadauntieCat Hysterical Historical Songs (19) Hysterical Historical Songs 26 Mar 12

Hi.Can anybody help?

I have a 5 minute singing slot to fill at a Historical Re-enactment After-Hours Burlesque thingy on St George's Day.

Last one we did I sang The Ratcatcher's Beautiful Daughter. With a bit of banter first that was the 5 minutes, easy. I don't want to repeat it though.

What I have so far is 'Some Say the Devil Is Dead', which I have adapted for the period we are portraying (WOTR), but which only lasts about 2 minutes.

Can anybody out there think of another song which I could sing unaccompanied? I have a low but powerful female voice ( I describe it as female tenor) and am used to singing alone. I need another fairly bouncy song. My standards, like Tom o' Bedlam and Mingulay are too downbeat.

I'm thinking maybe music hall, but the muse has flown away...
Thanks!
