GUEST,jugmws Lyr Req: Profumo affair songs (21) RE: Lyr Req: Profumo affair songs 08 Sep 20


Georgina. I have all the surviving papers scanned (& the recordings) & that is the same one I have. Stan morphed Galway Bay into The Bee song then No John No halfway through. Stan originally would not let me into his club (where I first met you) because he knew that I was underage. When I finally got into The Travellers it was the time when his work commitments were preventing him from coming himself except at holiday times. Rather strange that with a start like that he gave me all his material shortly before he died. Hope all is well - Mick Shaw

These are the words he gave

(Tune Galway Bay)
If you ever go across the Thames to Clivedon
Then maybe at the closing of the day
You may meet a luscious blond called Christine Keeler
Well watch it mate; she's poison all the way.

(Tune Bee song)
Oh what a wonderful thing to be
A healthy, wealthy sexy M.P.
Flitting around The Commons; the brightest ever seen
Having lots of fun with dear Christine

(Tune Galway Bay)
My name is John Profumo; ex-Minister of War
When it came to ambition, i was not behind the door.
Tipped to be Prime Minister; lined up for Downing Street
But now an ex-M.P. without a blinking seat.

(Tune No John No)
Harold in her face is beauty
Gorgeous figure shapely knees
Couldn't resist such great temptation
So can I have my job back please ?
          OH NO JOHN, NO JOHN, NO JOHN NO.........

(Tune Galway Bay)
If there's going to be a life hereafter
You never know the kind of luck you'll get.
I will ask old Mac if he will please forgive me
Then I'll make damn sure the next is a brunette.

Hope it is of use - m
