Thread Name: Double Entendre Anyone?
Subject: Un Joueur Du Luth / The Lute Player
The Limeliters ("Our Men In San Francisco") did a song called "Le Joueur du Luth" (The Lute Player), which is entirely double entendre.

I can't find the lyrics on line, but I'd love to have them! They are in both English and French.

The story of the song is that a young lute player advertises "lute playing lessons" and becomes a sensation, with many a young lass beating a path to his door to, um, "learn to play." One day a much older lady comes to his door asking for "lute lessons," and he tells her that "you're too old to play this game." Whereupon she replies, "I've been playing this game for 60 years -- and there's no substitute for experience!"

Anybody got the lyrics?
