Subject: ADD: Any Ice Today, Lady?
Hmmm. I'm guessing gargoyle's song is a bawdy parody of "Any Ice Today, Lady," that cnd gave links to. Here are lyrics:
ANY ICE TODAY, LADY ?
(Pat Ballard)
Fred Waring's Orchestra (vocals by Poley McClintock) - 1926
(Shouted): Ice? Any ice?
Any ice today, lady?
It's nice today, lady;
How about a piece of ice today?
Oh, it's only a quarter,
You know that you oughter
Hurry up before it melts away!
Yes, ma'am, yes, ma'am,
Not on your linoleum;
No, ma'am, no, ma'am,
Giddy-up, Napoleon!
Your pop is a nice man,
And so's your old iceman,
Oh, lady, be good to me!
Any ice today, lady?
It's nice today, lady;
How about a piece of ice today?
Tell me why you don't order
Some Eskimo water,
Though your credit's good, I wish you'd pay!
Yes, ma'am, yes, ma'am,
I'll give you a premium;
No, ma'am, no, ma'am,
Not enriched uranium;
I feel so silly;
I'll hand you a lily,
Oh, lady, be good to me!
(Shouted): Any ice? Any ice? Ice!
