Subject: RE: 'Unprintable Songs' (Randolph/Legman)
Hmm. I didn't think of that. I'll have to look into it, Joe.
Of course I did sing "Week Before Easter" and there's "Lolly Toodum" for today (It was on a Easter Monday, in the spring time of the year, etc)
And at the mildest end of "inappropriate:"
'Twas on last Easter Monday, the day appointed was,
For me to go down in the broom to meet my bonny lass.
How sweet and pleasant was the day I kept her company,
She was low, low down in the broom awaiting there for me.
"Low Down in the Broom" from Purslow, Frank, (1968),
