Thread Name: ADD: I Saw Her Snatch the Suitcase (bawdy)
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Some bawdy drinking song???
Our friend Allan Schwinn sings this as an intro to another song
originally sent me those words instead of the intro.

A few years ago I asked him for his source and he replied --

"I heard a standup comedian do something like this
before dirt was invented. I changed the words a bit so
it would fit to music. I then added it to the
beginning of the ship song which is somewhat from
another comedian. The total final arrangement is mine.
No copyright existed then.....but it does
now. I guess the source is me [Allan Schwinn].

What he sings is:

I saw her snatch.........her suitcase from the closet
I grabbed her butt.........time was growing short
I kissed her ass.............the taxi came to take her
To see her brother Jack.........off on the train

Then he goes into "The Ship Song" (which is under
copyright, but he doesn't know who wrote it) --

Everytime we take a trip you always get my goat.
I like traveling on a plane....you like a ferry boat.
Well, the next time we go traveling,
Ships are out and I declare;
You go your way, I'll go mine;
I'll met you over there.

Go take a ship for yourself.
I'll go by plane or by myself.
If you can't fly in planes,
Ride in busses or in trains,
Then go take a ship for yourself.

Take a battleship, an excursion ship
Or a fishing ship will do.
If you can't take a big ship
Then take a small canoe.
Bon voyage to you my friend,
I'll meet you at the journey's end,
If you like briny seas, ocean waves and an ocean breeze
Then go take a ship for yourself.
