Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Auntie Mary Had A Canary
From faint-remembered parties (which in our house were called Drunken Aunty Parties - can't remember why) I always thought the first line was Auntie Mary hid a canary up the leg o her drawers. Just puts a different slant to it. We always sang it to our Aunty Mary. We also had a cousin called Peggy Maguire, who naturally was accused of peeing in the fire.
