Subject: Lyr Req: Tune: msmdrrrmrL...
I am curious about a tune that has been on my mind for many years. It does not sound traditional. I have made shift to learn enough ABC to write it out that way:

X:1
T:Query
M:C
L:1/8
K:C
|e2 g2 e2 c2|d d d e d2 A2|
B2 B c d2 B A|G2 f2 e4|
e2 g2 e2 c2|d d d e d2 A2|
B2 B c d2 B2|G2 d2 c4

However, I have had no luck with search engines. In case all you want to do is hum it, here it is in solfa (scale DRMFSLTdrmfslt; dots mean continuation for another half beat):

m.s.m.d.rrrmr.L.
T.Tdr.T.S.f.m...
m.s.m.d.rrrmr.L.
T.Tdr.T.S.r.d...

Over the years it has accreted in my depraved mind some tasteless words about a fat man who drinks orange phosphate, but they are unlikely to be the real ones.
