Subject: RE: Three Butchers: WHY the naked woman?
Actually, yes, I've offered my coat to others in cold weather - I mind the cold less than some, and it's just good manners in certain situations. I'm mildly shocked that this is even a controversial point.

Back to the song, Troy Cambron says in the recording that he learned it from his mother. Perhaps she 'edited' the nakedness out. It would be interesting to find out if any other variants are missing this element.
