HE Well, I won't let you have the last word ^^

Subject: Lyr Add: THERE'S A HOLE IN THE BUCKET From: Fadac Date: 29 Jun 99 - 10:22 AM There is a hole in the bucket, dear Liza, dear Liza, There is a hole in the bucket, dear Liza, a hole. Well, fix it, dear John, dear John, dear John. Well, fix it, dear John, dear John, fix it. This goes on: With what? (Use straw.) It's too long. (Cut it.) With what? (The axe.) Too dull. (Sharpen it.) With what? (The stone.) Too dry. (Wet it.) With what? (Water.) From where? (The well.) How? (Use bucket.) There is a hole in the bucket. Have fun. Sing slow, and female gets more and more ticked off. -Fadac |
Subject: RE: 'Conversation' songs From: Dan Date: 29 Jun 99 - 09:33 AM Black girl, black girl, don't lie to me. Tell me where did you sleep last night. In the pines, in the pines, where the sun never shines, And I shivered the whole night through. Black girl, black girl, where'd you get that dress, That silken dress of red? I got it from a railroad man, for lying in his bed. (etc., etc.) And how about one based on one side of a conversation? "The Chair" by George Strait. Interesting genre. Reminds me of La Chute, a whole novel comprising the voice of one character in conversation with one other who never speaks. Anybody read it? |

Subject: RE: 'Conversation' songs From: AllisonA(Animaterra) Date: 29 Jun 99 - 09:06 AM Good morning, Tony! How's this: Old woman, old woman, are you fond of (I can't remember: shearing?)

Subject: 'Conversation' songs From: Tony Burns Date: 29 Jun 99 - 08:59 AM I've asked for the lyrics to DAVY THE DROVER which is a song where a male and female singer alternate verses in a conversation. I'd like to find other examples of this style. The only one that springs to mind is THERE'S A HOLE IN THE BUCKET, where Henry and Liza discuss the problem.
