Lighter	Lyr Req: A Gob is a Slob, Wherever He May Be (71* d)	RE: Lyr Req: A Gob is a Slob, Wherever He May Be	30 Apr 25
Brendan Kennelly, "The Florentines" (1967): O she followed me up the stairs Like a good girl should She followed me into bed Like I knew she would O she was a quare one, a gay one, a merry one, And she was a hot one, I tell you The refrain is adapted from the Irish song, "Hand Me Down My Petticoat," supposedly from the Boer War (1899-1902). The sexes are reversed, possibly because singing a song in the voice of the opposite sex/gender now creates embarrassed giggles. The verse seem not to scan to the same tune.
