Tune: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fFDgiofbQPA or download the song from Amazon or any service that sells Stan songs. Nathan Rogers also has his amazingly true-to-Stan version of it on his website -- it was windy at the Stanfest that day so they will never be using this particular recording in an album, but you get both the tune and how stunningly like his Dad he sounds when he wishes to! http://www.nathanrogers.ca/music.html and search on Woodbridge.

Stan definitely sings "it had grown," implying her cleaning efforts gradually polished the bins.

The carpenter's mate was a dirty joke told by Navy folk in and after WW2/Korea, the point being a misunderstanding of "screw" -- of the which there are many in naval parlance, the largest being the thing that makes the ship go.
