Subject: RE: Lyr Add: The Mallard
Slight thread drift, but just to prove that the Oral tradition is alive and well.
Back in the 1980's (after I'd left) My old band CROWS (UK) used to wile away the long drives home from gigs withthe following parody.

ME BUDGIE. c, Mick Ryan and Jim Younger

I have ate, and what have I ate?
I have ate the wing of me budgie.
Wing Wingy, Beak Beaky
Two Mirrors and all (poss nod to "Debility Hall"?)
And good meat was me budgie.

Other additions included,

Leg Leggy
Shin Shinny
Foot Footy

(May have been more of the normal parts of birds)

Then the less likely

Id, Iddy
Gestalty
and Finally Cojones of me budgie.

Ah what larks...the tradition is safe after all!!
