Dave Sutherland Lyr Req: Profumo affair songs (21) RE: Lyr Req: Profumo affair songs 14 Sep 20


This is what I can remember of the song that Chris R requested. It might be a verse short so hopefully someone from the North East can fill in the gaps.

Stately Cliveden Gardens (tune English Country Garden)

A lot of Tory Ministers skipped to and fro in those stately Cliveden Gardens,
One of them got caught, this we all now know in those stately Cliveden Gardens,
It started with Profumo, he let Alec Hume know, and soon all Westminster was in the dock, all except Big Ben,
Oh The Queen thought it sinister these excursions from Westminster to those stately Cliveden Gardens.

High ranking Tory Ministers high class Soho Dames used those stately Cliveden Gardens,
They used the Tory Whip for playing kinky games in those stately Cliveden Gardens,
They said …… Maxwell – Fyfe was indignant with his wife as she was found in bed with Ivanov the Red.
Oh the Queen Etc.
Butler, don’t forget Rab Butler, Butler don’t forget Rab Butler

Rab said to Maudling stop your senile dawdling in those stately Cliveden Gardens,
It was said upon the sword that he seduced Irene Ward in those stately Cliveden Gardens,
………………………………………………………………………
He was giving them advice all about their whole – sale price,
Oh the Queen Etc.

Edward Heath was seen swimming nude with Ray Martine in those stately Cliveden Gardens,
This raised a jealous howl from the lips of Enoch Powell in those stately Cliveden Gardens,
When Macmillan heard of this he told them make up with a kiss or I’ll have you both transferred to the Foreign Orifice.
Oh the Queen Etc.

Armstrong – Jones he took some pics of Edith Summerskil in her vest in those stately Cliveden Gardens,
Her chest expanders did adjust and put three inches on her biceps in those stately Cliveden Gardens,
But Dame Edith wasn’t foxing, it’s more strenuous than boxing and she was in line for a belt from Lord Lonsdale (for boxing)
Oh the Duke he thought it was immoral it wasn’t held up in Balmoral instead of Stately Cliveden Gardens.
