GUEST,SingSong About those bawdy lyrics (21) About those bawdy lyrics 27 Jan 01


Dear Friends,

I'm not ususally prudish, but while my 9 year old daughter and I were searching for the words to "The Ash Grove" the search yielded "The Mayor of Bayswater's Daughter" sung to the tune of "The Ash Grove". We opened it, and found a bawdy song, waxing "poetic" about said daughter's pubic hair. Would it be possible, when posting bawdy lyrics, to maybe denote them with, let's say, a "B" or a little icon of Tipper Gore (or Frank Zappa if you're on the other side of that debate) so some of us don't have to open them if we don't want to. I'm not interested in infringing on anyone's first ammendment rights, and I certainly don't have to read it, but sometimes just reading enough to determine it's bawdy one gets more than one wished for. I thank you all for your courteous consideration of this proposal. Susan
