Subject: RE: Parody Folk Circle I
I heard a very humourous song one time, sung by an elderly lady who was drinking pints of Guinness in O'Lochlainn's pub, Ballyvaughn, Co Clare.

The song was about a woman who was waiting for Mr Right to come along and she would look out the window of her house for him to pass by. The years went by and still this went on, but in the meantime she was getting pretty old. And then one day she couldn't stand it any longer. A postman came in and she tried to pounce on him while wearing just a pair of frilly knickers and in his efforts to escape he jumps out of a closed window. I would love to get the words, title and tune. Anyone know what I'm on about?
