A song from G. Legman's I Love You I Really Do, Part 2 page 289. Sung to a girl who asked for a "nice" bawdy song when Legman was about 19 years old [ca 1934]. He said it was sung with a "proper mock-Irish brogue and lilting tune":

When you take it in your hand, Mistress Murphy,
You'll find it only weighs three-quahrters[sic] of a pound.
It's got feathers on the neck like a turkey,
Will you take it standin' up or layin' down?
