Subject: RE: Origins: How old is The Little Fly ?
It was a very quite party all told & if old man bingham had a known the first of july was coming so quick he could a saved some more money by not putting on the padded sliding door which he put on so the other borders wouldnt here the kinder songs we useter sing about the fly that flew into the grocery store & about the father what was an apple pie baker & about the moon a shining bright upon the dead girls face & a few more like them that jimmy wrote & for all the songs we sing now why old bingham could hang up come cheese cloth be- tween the rooms & wouldnt lose no borders on our acct.
