Subject: Lyr Add: First Lady Forward (Turkey in the Straw)
Oh! the cat couldn't kitten, and the dog couldn't pup,
And the old man couldn't get his proposition up.
Oh! the first lady forward and the second lady back,
And the third lady's finger up the fourth lady's crack.
Swing yer partner! Grease yer pole!
Go to Hell, God damn yer soul!

Hand written note that the tune is "Turkey in the Straw".
