Thread Name: Lyr ADD: Be I Berkshire? Be I Buggery!
Subject: RE: Does anyone know this song? - Be I Bekshire
Sod off Tel;

Be I Berkshire, be I buggery,
I comes up from WAREHAM
I know a gal with calico drawers
And I knows how to tear 'em

Rip me knickers away, me boys, rip me knickers away ...

I have a copy of the words, but I don't have immediate access to them. There were two paperback books of Rugby Songs published in the late sixties, and records by the male section of the Black and White minstrels posing as the Jock Strapp Ensemble - they sometimes turn up at car boot sales. My friend, Dr Dick Frost, has this song, and will always part with a part of what he terms "The Bucks Erotica" for a pint of beer. I've never heard it sung to "Yankee Doodle", though!
