Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Grandma's Lye Soap
In this recent thread I posted the words of "It's In The Book (Pt 1)" by Johnny Standley.

It was issued on Capitol records in 1952, and JS played the part of a preacher giving a 'sermon' (on the first side, part 1) about Little Bo Peep (the link above gives the wors to that). At the end of side 1, he asks people to turn to their hymnbooks for a 'hymn'. Turning the record over to play "It's In The Book (Pt 2)", you heard the above song ("Grandma's Lye Soap" or whatever the correct title is).

My parents had it on a 78rpm record, as it predated the vinyl 45. I don't know if it's ever been issued on a vinyl album or CD. Does anyone know?
