Subject: Lyr Req: Who was this Charlie? From: Nick Barnett Date: 03 May 24 - 07:59 PM In the 1950s, possibly the 1960s, my mother repeated this to us. Whether she had any more and I've forgotten it, I don't know, maybe she just had this: When I think of Don Pasquale and compare him to/with that Charlie nausea! nausea! The tune is a famous circus-type tune I don't know the name of, but many people would recognise it. Anyone recognise these lyrics, though? I've tried googling, but . . . no dice. |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Who was this Charlie? From: GUEST,.gargoyle Date: 03 May 24 - 08:26 PM What is the "famous Circus tune?" You know it ... we do not. First four notes? American or EU? Sincerely, Gargoyle TUNE - "Follies" "Good bye Cruel World" "Charlie Fell into the Bucket". "Can Can". " Sousa March". "Colonel Bogie" |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Who was this Charlie? From: Nigel Parsons Date: 04 May 24 - 06:25 AM "Entry of the Gladiators" seems to fit. The only words I recall that fit to the tune include the words: "This old geezer, Julius Caesar, He's got a nose like an onion squeezer" |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Who was this Charlie? From: Georgiansilver Date: 04 May 24 - 07:08 AM I believe the 'Charlie' referred to was Charlie Drake.....a comedian who spoke with a high voice |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Who was this Charlie? From: GUEST,.gargoyle Date: 04 May 24 - 06:40 PM Nigel- interesting ...I knew your reference as: Julius Caesar The Roman geezer Killed his wife With a lemon squeezer. Sincerely, Gargoyle A sport before one game of "The Junior Classical League" (Latin Club) state convention would recite the chant, as a giant "earth ball" 8 foot tall, inflated canvas covered balloon game, that included 100's of students that became crushed in the the "press." |
