Here's a more complete version of an alternative tattooed lady song: After the singing of Dennis Puleston, Brookhaven, Long Island, NY, in the 1950s. Tune: "My Home in Tennessee" The Tattooed Lady I paid my franc to see An old tattooed lady, Tattooed from head to knee She was a sight to see; And on her jaw, Yes, on her jaw, Was the Royal Signal Corps; While ’round the back Flew the Union Jack Could you ask for more? All up and down her spine Marched the King’s Horse Guard in line; On her breastworks I could see The Royal Artillery; And on her spleen, Yes, on her spleen, Was a British submarine; While on each thigh Bombers flew by; What more could be seen? She had upon her hips Two lines of battleships; In a place I could not see Was a map of Germany; And on her kidney, Yes, on her kidney, Was a bird’s eye view of Sidney; While ‘round the corner, ‘Round the corner, Was my home in Tennessee! Cheerily, Charlie Ipcar
