I would note that this isn't my opinion, really -- this was Ed Cray's area of expertise, not mine! He was the one who filed the two songs separately in his book, and also when he indexed The Erotic Muse for us.

Presumably Ed thought the "Balls to Mr. Banglestein" lyric was a floater, or something, in the "Monk of Great Renown" text. But I don't know. I do know that many versions of the "Monk" do not include that lyric -- e.g. Rugby Songs doesn't. So if forced to opine, I'd agree with Ed. "Balls" is a floater.
