Subject: ADD: Vasectomy (Limeliters) From: katlaughing Date: 28 Jul 99 - 10:36 PM While searching for the Lollipop Tree, I came across a site which had a few lyrics of the Limeliters' posted. Couldn't pass this one up, thinking on that condom thread of ill-repute....now if more guys would follow this song it'd be "condom...be gone!" ***Big Grin** BTW- they just had their 40th anniversary on July 19th and have a enw cd coming out called, "Til we get it right". Did a DT and forum search and didn't come up with anything, so I guess this is not a duplicate, unless I missed something. Anyhow.....enjoy!! VASECTOMY by the Limeliters
Well, I went to see my Doctor,
Well, the next thing I know,
The nurses were a gigglin'
"It only hurts
Oooeeeiy! Ooooh! Aiiiy Oh!
Well, it's two weeks later,
And even down at the office,
Well, a vasedctomy!
Here is the part that I like the most,
Oh what a vas deferens there could..
They snip those little suckers right in two
Oh what a vas deferens there could be!

Subject: RE: Limeliters' 'Vasectomy' lyrics-for the guys! From: Steve Parkes Date: 29 Jul 99 - 03:54 AM Tell the truth ands shame the devil, Seed, as my grandmother used to say. I had mine done years ago - that was in the days of "two bricks and mind your thumbs". There's nothing remarkable to tell, except that it makes all the difference in the world! Actually, I do recall that (and I swear this is true!) just as procedings were about to begin, the surgeon (we don't say "doctor" over here) waved his syringe about and said, "Just a little prick". I think this is what passes for wit in the medical profession, although I couldn't bring myself to laugh somehow. I glad he didn't, anyway. Looking back to when I was lying there with my feet in the stirrups and being the only one in the room who couldn't see what was going on, I can honestly say I feel more than a little sympathy for you poor girls! Seed? Steve |
Subject: RE: Limeliters' 'Vasectomy' lyrics-for the guys! From: Steve Parkes Date: 29 Jul 99 - 03:56 AM Oh Katl, I should say you really have to be able to trust each other if you're going to throw all those little packets away! |
Subject: RE: Limeliters' 'Vasectomy' lyrics-for the guys! From: rich r Date: 29 Jul 99 - 07:19 AM "Until We Get It Right" (by R Zimmerman) is a clever song about reincarnation. A Limeliters recording of it already exists on the CD titled; "The Chad Mitchell Trio and Friends: Live At the Birchmere" The Limeliters do three songs on that CD, Carolyn Hester does one and the CMT do a dozen or so. Lou Gottlieb died not too long after that recording was made. This of course does not directly answer the question as to whether there is another new CD in the works with that song on it also. rjich r |

Subject: RE: Limeliters' 'Vasectomy' lyrics-for the guys! From: katlaughing Date: 29 Jul 99 - 10:12 AM Uh, Steve: "two bricks and mind your thumbs"???? Some euphemism I'll be sorry I asked about???**bg** Brave man....proud of ya and YES, nobody should throw out those little packets unless there is absolute trust. Ah...remember when sex didn't carry a possible death threat in every encounter? Those were the days. Ah, gawd.....I am sounding like an old timer!! rich r: I'll go back to that site & see if that song is on their new cd. Sounds like one I'd be interested in. katlaughing |
Subject: RE: Limeliters' 'Vasectomy' lyrics-for the guys! From: Steve Parkes Date: 29 Jul 99 - 11:38 AM Actually, Katl, I used to get the death threats immediately after the proposition! Must have been something lacking in my technique ... Yes, you probably will be sorry you asked! There are actually two stories which go with the "bricks": Brick story #1 A farmer was interviewed by a magazine about farmyard chores. Soon they got to discussing the castration of his bullocks, the way one does on a farm. The journalist asked what method the farmer used, and he said, "I get my son to drive them through that gap in the hedge. I hide behind the hedge with a brick in each hand. As each bullock jumps through the gap, I bang the bricks together smartly, and ... well, you get the picture? It takes a lot of concentration, and split-second timing." "Doesn't it hurt?", asked the journo with a wince. "Only if I get my thumbs in the way!" replied the farmer. Brick story #2 A man (or a woman, of course) wanted to cross the desert on a camel. "How long can these beasts go without water?" s/he asked the camel salesman. "Oh, about seven days." "And how long will it take me to cross the desert?" "Two weeks." "But how can you cross the desert without the camel dying of thirst?" "You have to brick it." "?" "Right. What you do is, you wait until the camel is drinking its seven days' worth. You sneak up behind it with two bricks, and just before it stops drinking, you bring the bricks together smartly, and ... you get the picture?" "!" "And the camel goes FFFFFFFFF!!!! [sharp intake of breath - this is a visual one: get a man to show you what he'd do if he was a camel!] and takes on another weeks' worth." Well, you did ask! Steve |
Subject: RE: Limeliters' 'Vasectomy' lyrics-for the guys! From: Joe Offer Date: 29 Jul 99 - 08:30 PM Say, Kat - what's the URL for the site where you found the Limeliters' lyrics -Joe Offer, who always gets nervous when women start talking about mutilating male genitals... |
Subject: RE: Limeliters' 'Vasectomy' lyrics-for the guys! From: katlaughing Date: 29 Jul 99 - 09:06 PM Ah, Joe.....lil' ol' moi didn't bring up the brick part! I'se just talkin' about a little snip here and there:-> It's not their official site, but here is the URL 9(which stands for what??) for where the lyrics are: Limeliters Hope the "road" you're on isn't too long! Steve: uh...thanks for that enlightenment!Poor, poor bullocks & camels! kat |
Subject: RE: Limeliters' 'Vasectomy' lyrics-for the guys! From: Bert C. Date: 30 Jul 99 - 12:05 AM There's another version of that "brick" story where the circus comes to town and a prize is offered to the first person who can make the elephant jump straight up in the air with all four feet off the ground at once. A boy comes along with two bricks, walks behind the elephant and....well, you get the picture? The following year the circus returns with a different offer. This time the prize is for the person who can make the elephant nod his head "yes" and "no" on cue. Along comes the same boy with his bricks. He walks up to the elephant and says "Remember me?" Elephant memories being what they are, the elephant quite vigorously nods "yes". Then the boy says, "want me to do it again?", and well...I'm sure you get the picture. Bert C. |
Subject: RE: Limeliters' 'Vasectomy' lyrics-for the guys! From: Steve Parkes Date: 30 Jul 99 - 03:26 AM Bert, is that the kid who grew up to be the guy who went vback to the same circus years later (happily the elephant had retired) and won the prize for Making the Donkey Laugh and the prize for Making the Donkey Cry? (Guaranteed completely brick-free) Steve (talk about thread creep!) |
Subject: RE: Limeliters' 'Vasectomy' lyrics-for the guys! From: reggie miles Date: 30 Jul 99 - 10:55 AM Hey Kat, far be it from me to contest the lyrics set forth for the song by the Limelighters but I do a slightly different version. Not that any of the important parts are missing mind you, I guess it's just the folk process at work shifting things a bit here and there. Actually it makes me feel good that my version is different. Larry Heagle, the guy who wrote Vasectomy, who I met through my friend Robert Oneman Johnson, probably does it a little differently as well. We all seem to lend ourselves to the same song in slightly different ways, it's what makes us all individuals. In the eternal reoccurance of spring some branches grow short and others grow long and stil others are, in this case snipped off in their prime. |
Subject: RE: Limeliters' 'Vasectomy' lyrics-for the guys! From: katlaughing Date: 30 Jul 99 - 11:32 AM So, reggie, share your version with us!?? That one is just what I found at a website. kat |
Subject: RE: Limeliters' 'Vasectomy' lyrics-for the guys! From: SharonA Date: 25 Jul 01 - 10:22 AM The recent "Revisionist opinion about the Kingston Trio" thread put me in mind of The Limeliters, which brought me to this thread. I have an answer to rich r's question about the song "Until We Get It Right": The Limeliters have recently released a CD with that song on it; in fact, that's the title song!! I saw them in concert last spring, and it was very enjoyable. Don't know if they have a website, but I'll check my "Until We Get It Right" CD and post whatever info I find. SharonA |

Subject: RE: Limeliters' 'Vasectomy' lyrics-for the guys! From: mousethief Date: 25 Jul 01 - 11:57 AM Great song! At the risk of arousing the wrath of the anti-versionists (you know who you are), the version I heard went: Like a Sunkist orange I've been freed Alex |
Subject: RE: Limeliters' 'Vasectomy' lyrics-for the guys! From: ChanteyMatt Date: 25 Jul 01 - 01:01 PM A tune! A tune! I must have the tune to this song! It's just the sort of thing we sing in the duo Hellfire! BTW I "made the cut" some time ago. (smile) |
Subject: RE: Limeliters' 'Vasectomy' lyrics-for the guys! From: mousethief Date: 25 Jul 01 - 01:07 PM The most annoying part was when the hair started growing back that they had shaved for the surgery. Owwwwwwwch! |

Subject: Lyr Add: VASECTOMY (Bernard Wrigley) From: clansfolk Date: 25 Jul 01 - 01:33 PM Here's another song ideal for falsetto! the LSD quoted in the song refers to the UK money system prior to 1971 Pounds - Shillings and pence. - if you want to hear the tune its on John Bonds CD which will be available (soon) as a download from MP3.com. Also accessible via John's url......enjoy.......
VASECTOMY.
Albert was a quiet lad, he loved a quiet life,
"Whatever can I do?" he thought, "Don't I get all the luck?
Chorus:-
"Oh dear Albert, whatever have you done?
He went to his Physician, to ask for his advice
He paid the man the money, had the job done right away,
--Chorus--
His conjugal equipment turned a funny shade of green,
A week went by and things got worse, he was bruised and feeling sore,
--Chorus--
He has a fond affection now, for tom-cats and the like,
So if you've got some money, old fashioned L.S.D.
--Chorus--
