Subject: RE: Lyr Req: There was a woman from...
A (now unknown) German duo, Schobert und Black, have been singing a lot of Limericks to many different tunes. That would be a source if you can locate a recording.

They sometimes called their limericks 'schlimmericks' (pron.: shlimmericks) which in a German listeners both evoces the meanings 'dirtericks' and 'worsericks' which is the idea.
