Charley Noble Lyr Req: That Old Tattooed Lady (49) RE: Lyr Req: That Old Tattooed Lady 17 Nov 25


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
