Subject: RE: The Genre of Funny English Songs
An old Benny Hill song starts:-
Twas market day in the village and the crowd round the stalls was quite dense, But what caught my eye was a stall pile high - full of musical instruments. Well up to the stall came this little old man - his clothes all tattered an thin, And his face came alight when his eyeballs got sight of a bootifull old violin. So he held it up to the dealer and said "how much is this one then?" "That's a Stradivarius my son and it'll cost you four pounds ten!" I can't afford that said the little old man, and a lump come into my throat. I was feeling quite chuffed so in his hands I did stuff a ten shilling note. By now a crowd had gathered so I quickly went round with his hat. When I fifnished I'd found I'd collected five pounds - so I took me ten shillings back.
What comes next???????? Argh!!!! Sad old me can't sleep thinking about this stupid but funny song? Please put me out of my misery. (shoot me!)
