Subject: Lyr Add: LONG UNDERWEAR (Heath, Fletcher, Marr) From: Jim Dixon Date: 06 Jun 24 - 11:04 PM From the sheet music at Baylor University: IF YOU’RE OLD FASHIONED YOU’RE LONG UNDERWEAR Words and music by Bobby Heath, Archie Fletcher & Alex Marr, 1926. 1. There’s a brand-new saying that is going ’round— Funny little saying the girls and boys have found. At each dance or party, all that you will hear Is the crazy little word; it’s ringing in your ear: CHORUS 1: Long underwear, long underwear, That’s the crazy little word that you hear ev’rywhere. If you are old-fashioned, someone will declare You’re a joke, an old slowpoke; you’re just long underwear. 2. Girlies with long dresses, they have seen their day. Pretty golden tresses, all have gone to stay. Good old-fashioned waltzers that were once in style, If they were around today, we’d say with a smile: CHORUS 2: Long underwear, long underwear, Take off those old-fashioned clothes and toss them in the air. Learn to do the Charleston, then boy-bob your hair. Be in style and wear a smile, but not long underwear. |
Subject: RE: I have lost my underwear & other underwear songs From: GUEST,.gargoyle Date: 06 Jun 24 - 07:57 PM I grew up ... begging for stories about my parent's childhood. I was unlike the city I knew. They grew up in the dry-lands. One story, concerned a local Russian immigrant family, in fact lots of stories about that family. Every fall the children would be sewed/stiched into woolen, drop-seat, long-handle, underwear. They would be "released" in the spring. I heard a similar story from a Slave family's parents, from when they were still in "the old country. As punishment, they had to walk over dried peas on the floor, in their woolen underwear, in front of neighbor girls. Sincerely Gargoyle The fine line between culture bowl of soup vs salad, is awkward. A young boy was observed, in school with deep bruises. He had been treated for influenza by his family. "Coining" is when a silver coin is rubbed/massaged deeply parallel to the lymphatic system |

As recorded by Jason Graae and Paige O’Hara, accompanied by Glenn Mehrbach on piano, on the various-artists album “Keep Your Undershirt On,” Rialto Recordings SLRR9001, 1989. Tell me: why is it when you’re near, Passion just overcomes me? Something about you numbs me. Tell me: why do I feel so queer Every time you appear? I get like this: Wanna hug and kiss. Curb your emotion; don’t go off your nut. I’ve got a notion I could love you, but Don’t get excited; keep your undershirt on. Maybe I’ve got stuff you admire, sis. Baby, I’m hot stuff; so remember this: Don’t get excited; keep your undershirt on I always let the girls kiss me, If they like it and they like it. After I leave ’em, they’re total wrecks. Oh, baby, I’m just full of sex. Though you’ll upset me, that’s a chance I’ll take. Go on and pet me, but for heaven’s sake, Don’t get excited; keep your undershirt on. I’ve a nature that’s far from cold. My love is so intensive, It makes me apprehensive. I fear if it should get a hold, I couldn’t be controlled. I’d do a few Things I shouldn’t do. Curb your emotion; don’t go off your nut. I got a notion I could love you, but Don’t get excited; keep your undershirt on. I’ve no objection to a hug or two. I like affection, but I’m warning you: Don’t get excited; keep your undershirt on. I always let the boys kiss me, If they like it, and they like it. I’m wise to all the tricks that they spring. My mother told me everything. Though you’ll upset me, that’s a chance I’ll take. Go on and pet me, but for heaven’s sake, Don’t get excited; keep your undershirt on. I always let the girls kiss me, If they like it, and they like it. After I leave them, they’re total wrecks. Oh, baby, you’re just full of sex.

Subject: Lyr Add: KEEP YOUR UNDERSHIRT ON (Kalmar, Ruby) From: Jim Dixon Date: 02 Jun 24 - 02:43 PM From the recording at the Internet Archive: KEEP YOUR UNDERSHIRT ON Words by Bert Kalmar, music by Harry Ruby. As recorded by Ben Pollack and His Park Central Orchestra, with vocal refrain by Burt Lorin, on Victor 22267-A, 1929. Curb your emotion; don’t go off your nut. I’ve got a notion I could love you, but Don’t get excited; keep your undershirt on. Maybe I’ve got stuff you admire, sis. Baby, I’m hot stuff, so remember this: Don’t get excited; keep your undershirt on. I always let the girls kiss me If they like it (Oh!), and they love it. (Oh!) After I leave them, they’re total wrecks. Oh, baby, I’m just full of sex. Though you’ll upset me, that’s the chance I’ll take. Go on and pet me, but for heaven’s sake Don’t get excited; keep your undershirt on. - - - The song was written for the musical comedy “Top Speed” which was performed as a Broadway play in 1929 and as a film in 1930. In the play, it was sung as a duet by Lester Allen and Ginger Rogers; in the film it was sung by Joe E. Brown and Laura Lee; however, it was cut before release in the United States. The song’s lyrics are printed in the published script of the play “Animal Crackers” starring the Marx Brothers. “Animal Crackers” was performed as a play in 1928 and adapted as a film in 1930. According to the script, it was to be sung as a duet by Captain Spaulding (played by Groucho Marx) and Mrs. Rittenhouse (played by Margaret Dumont). However, I do not find “Keep Your Undershirt On” listed in any description of the play or the film. |

My thing about undergarments Got a little carried away. CHORUS: Underpants, underpants, I love my girlfriend’s underpants. Underpants, underpants, I just love my girlfriend’s underpants. I dig through her dirty clothes ever’ time I get the chance, Try ’em on, do a little dance. Yeah, I love my girlfriend’s underpants. VERSE 2: I was never really much into baseball; Had other things on my mind: Thinkin’ about my girlfriend And what covered her behind. I had this reputation. It was hard to explain. I was born with this condition Called lingerie on the brain. CHORUS BRIDGE: The first time she dropped her linen In the hamper on the bathroom floor, I just stood there a-grinnin’.

Subject: RE: I have lost my underwear & other underwear songs From: GUEST,Mark Finn Date: 27 Jul 21 - 06:56 PM The Scotsman - Bryan Bowers written by Mike Cross Well, a Scotsman clad in kilt left a bar one evening fair, And one could tell by how he walked that he'd drunk more than his share. He fumbled 'round until he could no longer keep his feet, And he stumbled off into the grass to sleep beside the street. Chorus: Ring ding diddle iddle ay dee oh, Ring di diddly ay oh, (repeat last line of previous verse) About that time two young and lovely girls just happened by, One says to the other with a twinkle in her eye: "See yon sleeping Scotsman, so strong and handsome built? I wonder if it's true what they don't wear beneath the kilt!" (Chorus) They crept up on that sleeping Scotsman quiet as could be; Lifted up his kilt about an inch so they could see. And there, behold, for them to view beneath his Scottish skirt, Was nothin' more than God had graced him with upon his birth. (Chorus) They marvelled for a moment, then one said: "We must be gone. Let's leave a present for our friend before we move along." As a gift they left a blue silk ribbon tied into a bow, Around the bonnie star the Scot's kilt did lift and show. (Chorus) Now the Scotsman woke to nature's call, and stumbled towards the trees. Behind the bush he lifts his kilt, and gawks at what he sees. And in a startled voice he says, to what's before his eyes, "Oh, lad I don't know where ye been, but I see ye won first prize!" (Chorus) |

Subject: Lyr Add: UNDERWEAR (Barry Louis Polisar) From: raredance Date: 19 Nov 18 - 11:06 PM UNDERWEAR - Barry Louis Polisar As recorded by Barry Louis Polisar on "Off-Color Songs for Kids" (1983) CHORUS: Underwear is everywhere but mostly underneath. Usually, you can't see what goes on beneath Ragged clothes or evening gowns or the finest three-piece suit. Underwear is everywhere; there is no substitute. Everyone is equal when it comes to underwear, Because beneath your underwear it's just yourself that's there. Everyone wears underwear -- or at least they should. Underwear is lots of things, but mostly it is good. CHORUS Some like the feel of cotton. I share this belief. Likewise, I don't like boxer shorts; give me a pair of briefs. Some don't like to talk about it; that's because they're shy. People laugh at underwear, but I do not know why. CHORUS "Now don't use bleach on underwear." That's what my mom will say. "Cause bleach will eat the fabric and soon they'll wash away." Underwear with lots of holes is a sorry sight, Look around and try to see who's wearing theirs too tight! CHORUS TWICE |

Subject: RE: I have lost my underwear & other underwear songs From: Rusty Dobro Date: 07 Nov 12 - 03:50 PM And from the late and very great Monty Parkin, this parody: I wore my pants from Marks and Spencers And made pretences that they would do But in my mind I felt contrary, They were too lairy, not a nice plain blue. Far, far away, my wife's aunt Elsie, Who lived near Chelsea, sent them to me. And so I sat, through the Christmas season, With my new undies on, and watched TV. A crashing bore, the same old drag, When it was done I grabbed a bag, I went down to Marks and Spencers, I was not alone..... 'May I return these pants, please, missus, They're all right for sissies, not for us real men.' She looked at me, a trifle weary, 'I suppose so, deary', and I went home again. Give me my dull old pants, give me my dull old pants, Give me my dull old pants, give me my dull old pants. This was written for Monty's weekly spot on Radio Kent, but perhaps understandably they thought it might offend the original noble composer, and vetoed it. I still trot it out every January, though. |

Subject: RE: I have lost my underwear & other underwear songs From: Haruo Date: 07 Nov 12 - 10:33 AM I see Mary Garvey mentioned Valking in my Vinter Undervear by Stan Boreson; one of his last songs—he's not dead, but he has stopped singing for the public—is about the absence of underwear and all other attire: I Just Don't Look Good Naked Anymore. (YouTube from a 2007 video) I'm surprised I don't see Vinter Undervear's lyrics in the database or forum. Will try to post later if nobody beats me to it. |
