"But," he spluttered belligerently, "TO see" provides a segue to the chorus. "I don't give a damn to see a woman piaba, etc." Least that's my reasoning.

Likewise de famoss banty i.e. bantam rooster scratch-scratches around behind does famoos banty hens, which is what it's all aboat, mon.

One or both of us has met Lady Mondegreen, for sure. :) I think it's just a matter for a friendly chat unless somebody comes up with the lyrics other than from a Mudcatter's fevered mind.
