Thread Name: Lyr Req: Blest be the tie parodies
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Blest be the tie parodies
I don't know why I wrote "On mules we find..." in the intro. That's an "Auld Lang Syne" ("Miller's Daughter") text, not "Dennis" (Dennis being the tune name of the "Blest be the tie" tune).

The others we sang were

I wish that my room had a floor—
I don't care so much for a door—
But this walking around
Without touching the ground
Is getting to be quite a bore!

and

The frog he am a queer bird,
He ain't got no tail almost hardly.
When he walk, he yump;
When he yump, he sit down,
Where he ain't got no tail almost hardly.

and of course the tie/collar one given above.

More would be welcome.
