GUEST,Pete at Windle Lyr Req: School Cheltenham/Typical English Lady (9) RE: Lyr Req: School Cheltenham/Typical English Lady 07 Mar 03


Here are a few more words which I recorded in about 1962, sung by a Eurasian (I think) actress, who could have been called Tsi Chin - but that is a guess as well! Unfortunately the tapes from my reel-to-reel have gone and I only have these few memories.

I went to school in Cheltenham
To a fashionable ladies' college
Where I learnt what's what and acquired a lot
Of exceedingly practical knowledge.

In the Upper 6th Form we were studying form
And we put on the money with the porter,
And at night the head used to tuck us in bed
With an outsize whisky and water.

I went to school in Cheltenham
With the chestnut trees so shady
Where I learnt of vice and all things nice
Like a typical English lady.

I went to school in Cheltenham
With a daughter of the landed gentry
But her most refined little one-track mind
Was exceedingly elementary.
