Subject: RE: Lyr help req: Maid from Amsterdam
For years, I have been doing:
'Twas then she let all her clothes fall, mwwids,...
I took one look and turned to go....
'Twas detective Frankie Serpico.

It's hard to realize that so many years have gone by since that [in]famous ribald sea chantey symposium. I asked Stan for access to his archive of ribald chanteys and his reply was that Gershon Legman had it and was going to publish it one of these days. I asked him for a backup copy and he, gentleman that he was, said that he'd think of it. Legman is, I believe, gone and there is still no book or album.
