Okay as I was extraditing my car from a Newark parking lot today with a mundane tow truck instead of a handy parcel of Shany men, bits and pieces of this thread kept flitting through my mind. And my stray thoughts

Now if women wrote shanties they'd be more like old blues...

Like Johnson Girls, but about guys... Then Noreen's line came to mind...

I think I better send big hugs to {{{{{Mick and Jeri}}}}} before I post this... BG.. Honest you guys know I love you... I kept to the story line really I did... Just like that Peanut song, everyone keeps misunderstanding...



Shanty Ladies don't sing the blues
Jack'er off boys, jack'er off
When Big Mick Lane provides the view
Jack'er off boys jack'er off

Buns raised high, but they work down low
If you get it right she won't need a tow

One inch, two inch,four, five, six
Boys don't leave her in this fix

Her engine's revin' but she's not quite on
Give her one more inch she'll be off the lawn

Two big ol' buzzards watching from a tree
That sweet release will set you free
