Thread Name: Lyr Add: Hard Cheese of Old England (Les Barker)
Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Les Barker's Hard Cheese of Old England
I assume most people here will realise that the second line is based on a line from "She Moved Throuh the Fair" - "And my father won't slight you for your lack of Kind". The last line is a pun on Cheese Grater - and a line frim the bible - Greater Love had no man had for mankind etc."
Sometimes Les's puns are a bit contrived, but that's part of the joke a lot of the time. Over analysis of comedy sometimes kills the joke!
