THE CLAM DIGGER
(Air, "John Brown's Body")
I know a man who went digging for some clams.
I know a man who went digging for some clams.
I know a man who went digging for some clams.
And he didn't catch a bally bally clam.
Glory, glory, to the CLAM DIGGER.
Glory, glory, to the Clam Digger.
Glory, glory, to the Clam Digger.
For he never caught a bally bally Clam!
I put on my pink pajamas in the summer when its hot
I put on my flannel nightie in the winter when its not
And sometimes in the sping tie but more often in the fall
I jump right in between the sheets with nothing on at all
Glory, Glory, for the Springtime,
Glory, Glory, for the springtime,
Glory, Glory, for the springtime,
When I jump right in between the sheets with nothing on at all.

This combines "Mary Anne McCarthy (went to dig some clams)" with "Pink Pajamas".
