Thread Name: Aunty Mary Had a Canary - where?
Subject: RE: Aunty Mary Had a Canary - where?
Yes I heard the "Aunty Mary had a canary up the leg of her drawers, when she f...etc" on the streets forty years ago in South Lancashire. It began:

"We keep hens in our back yard we feed 'em on Indian corn,
One's a bugger for raggin' the other and that's how they were born."

We used to dance to the tune at the village hall and sing the words after too much Tetleys.
