Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Shave 'Em Dry sung by Lucille Bogan
I think it is in the last verse:

For working men's two dollars
                  to fit (NOT KISS) my ass

and earlier on:

Your balls hang down a bell clapper (NOT SAPPER)

I think the first person to put these lyrics in print was Paul Oliver
in his book "Screening the Blues" where he got verse five wrong hearing 'Heaven' instead of 'Hell' and in the second line: I'll be fucking in the studio just to fuck that to leather instead of 'til the clock strikes eleven.

An amusing song by a great singer. Lucille Bogan was one of the best of the female blues artists in my book and teamed with Walter Roland hard to beat.
