Thread Name: Lyr Req: Ivan skavinski skavar
Subject: Ivan skavinski skavar-lyrics
I have an old aunt in South Africa who has written me asking about a song she used to sing in the YWCA across from the British Museum in the 50's. There is reference to an Abdul Bull Bull Ameer and it seems to be about an epic fight that he had against Ivan Skavinski Skavar. She can remember several verses and one goes " They fought all that night in the pale moonlight, the din was heard from afar, great multitudes came, so great was the fame, of Abdul and Ivan Skavar" If anyone could either supply me with, or point me in the direction to get the complete lyric for this song, I would greatly appreciate it and I thank you in advance for any/all help!!
