Subject: Hundreds or less From: Morticia Date: 04 Feb 02 - 02:27 PM This parody , in the DT click here came up in the last Stony Stratford thread and I thought what a shame it was that it was so short, so I've had a bash at writing new verses...not convinced by the last verse though....anyone got a better ending? ^^ Hundreds or Less (Morticia) I wear high-heeled shoes and a bright scarlet dress And I'll take them all off for a hundred or less I stick on my pasties with an air of resolve For a fifty quid note you can see them revolve My pet's name is Fluffy, and here's a new take He stands quite still and I dance round the snake It's a noble profession, yet some think us whores Though I'll dance around my snake, I won't dance round yours I see you're excited, but I'm wed, so beware To the bouncer who's ten feet and covered in hair The last chap that chanced it, my husband did deck Then he tore off his head and he spit down his neck |

Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Hundreds or less From: Jacob B Date: 05 Feb 02 - 11:56 AM Years ago I knew a full length parody of Drive Sorrows Away. It parodied the original line for line. As I recall one of the lines went Bright Phoebe awoke and looked high in the sky When a bird flew right over and pooped in her eye Anyone remember the rest of that version? Jacob |
Subject: Lyr Add: HUNDREDS OR LESS (Roberts/Barrand/Killen) From: Anglo Date: 05 Feb 02 - 11:37 PM I'm afraid, Jacob, you're referring to a song also titled "Hundreds or Less" written, so to speak, by John Roberts, Tony Barrand and Louis Killen at the Kent State Folk Festival, Kent Ohio, in 1973 or so. There are some local references, spatial and temporal. It has been sung to the Coppers. ^^ Hundreds or Less (John Roberts, Tony Barrand and Louis Killen) The time passes over more solemn and drear Since we found that they serve only 3.2 beer.
Bright Phoebe awoke so high up in the sky
If you ask for my credit cards you'll find I have nine
You can tell I'm not rich by the way that I dress

Subject: Lyr Req: Hundreds or less From: skipy Date: 22 Oct 07 - 03:50 PM HUNDREDS OR LESS I wear high-heeled shoes, And a bright scarlet dress, And I take them all off For hundreds or less. Anyone got the rest of this? Skipy |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Hundreds or less From: lady penelope Date: 22 Oct 07 - 04:09 PM Funnily enough, I sang this one this weekend..... Penned by our own Morticia A Hundred Or Less (Tune – Thousands Or More) I wear high heeled shoes and a bright scarlet dress And I'll take them all off for a hundred or less I stick on my pasties with an air of resolve For a fifty quid note you can see them revolve My pet's name is Fluffy and here's a new take He stands quite still and I dance round the snake It's a noble profession, yet some think us whores Though I'll dance around my snake, I won't dance round yours I see you're excited, but I'm wed so beware To the bouncer who's ten feet and covered in hair The last chap who chanced it, my husband did deck Then he tore of his head and he spit down his neck |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Hundreds or less From: Peace Date: 22 Oct 07 - 04:17 PM It is then a LYRIC ADD. The DT shows only one stanza. |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Hundreds or less From: Joe Offer Date: 22 Oct 07 - 06:47 PM I thought I'd better combine these threads to eliminate confusion. The one-verse version in the Digital Tradition was penned by "anonymous." Morticia found it lacking, so she added verses. I think she did a damn good job. Well, and so did Anglo. -Joe- |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Hundreds or less From: Peace Date: 22 Oct 07 - 06:49 PM I hear that. Thanks. |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Hundreds or Less From: GUEST,Celtaddict Date: 15 Dec 18 - 11:59 AM I recently heard a different parody of this song. I liked the words better and they followed the original more closely. Parts were “Although I’m not rich, you can tell by my dress, I’m as happy as those who have hundreds or less” and “if you ask for my credit you ‘lol find I have none; the bank cut it off ‘cause I’m so overdrawn” — does anyone know the rest? |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Hundreds or Less From: GUEST,Brian Grayson Date: 18 Dec 18 - 07:47 AM The time passes slowly More peaceful each day Since we've learned a new song To drive thousands away |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Hundreds or Less From: Black belt caterpillar wrestler Date: 21 Dec 18 - 07:24 AM HOWITZERS OR MORE/SWALLOWS AWAY. Time passes slowly, more pleasant each day Since I bought a new gun to drive swallows away, Swallows away, swallows away, swallows away, Since I bought a new gun to drive swallows away. Bright Phoebus she rises, the larks they fly high, Then I'm out with my gun, for I like a lark pie. Each bright summer's morning I go out with my gun, For shooting small songbirds is my kind of fun. Now I am well known and a notoriety, Since I became the scourge of the R.S.P.B. I am content with my trusty twelve bore, I'm as happy as those that's got howitzers or more. Reconstructed from being heard in the Middle Bar of the Anchor at Sidmouth in about 1986. Robin |
