There was a young man called M'bo
Who didn't know whether to come or go
So instead he wrote poems
Of dubious origins
And posted them instead!

Date: 28 Feb 00 - 08:13 PM

"dubious" - doubtfull, not of purity, shamefull, confessable

"origin" - source, in the beginning, manifestation of beginnings.

Hey Pants-away

(with a Bo Diddley beat)

Spy Boy slide up
Movin' smooth and slow
Tellin' you somethin'
You really ought to know
Big Chief gets angry
On Mardi Gras Day
If all the young women
Don't throw their pants away!

Hey! Hey hey! Hey pants-away!
Hey! Hey hey-yeah! Hey pants-away!

All the pretty girls
Up on the balcony
Take them panties off
Drop 'em down on me!
Spy Boy kick 'em up
With his big flat feet
Make it look like a snowstorm
All over Bourbon Street!

Hey! Hey hey...

My Granma thought
She was too damn old
Til she put on them panties
Purple, green and gold
My Granpa he say
That it just won't do
But she took 'em off anyway
And throwed her pants at you!

Sweet Isabelle Jolie
With the Uptown Crewe
Was a debutante virgin
She was tried and true
But come Fat Tuesday
She drank too much brew
Somebody took her panties
And she never knew!

Now the Big Chief he can't
Throw his underwear
'Cause he say he left 'em
On the kitchen chair
But me Spy Boy say
He ain't tellin' it right
He can't get off his jockies
'Cause the band too tight!

Me Spy Boy say
Listen what I said
Got to wear them panties?
Wear 'em on your head!
All the Wild Tchoupitoulas
Be singin' this song
Throw them pants away now
Be they jocks or thongs!

Hey! Hey hey! Hey pants-away!
Hey! Hey hey-yeah! Hey pants-away!

Well in order to keep the thread going I thought I might start a song… All lyrical (or not so lyrical) contributions gratefully appreciated….

The Boxers – to the tune of "The Boxer" – Simon and Garfunkel

I am just a schoolboy on a playing field so cold I've forgotten my PE kit and they've made me wear my vest and boxers instead

I'm half the size of the ape who is now stamping my head into the wet ground I wanna die die die die die

When I left my home and my family, mummy made sure the were clean On this morning in case of accidents so the doctors would hesitate to operate….

Over to you folks...

Boxers! There's no competition in terms of sheer electricity, mate. Panties rule!

Now if you could answer "Why", you'd be the next Freud...I guess they just cloak the greater Mystery, the home of hymns (so to speak) and the pearl of all paeans.

Mbo -- your Barky song was just beautiful, man! Nice tune, nicely sung. Did you play that fiddle, to? Wow.

LEJ, your Bo Diddly was shhheeeeeerrr mastery -- you got True Flavor, man...I am so impressed. I tried cutting a rock and roll .aif file for Áine of the Mudcat # 61 tune, but I discovered I am not a one-man rock and roll band...it came out kinda flat and spidery. Sigh. Man you got It, for sure. You should be writing songs for the great masters.

Grounds fo anew thread would be, identifying them!

Anyway, thanks for a great grin.

Underwear JAMBALAYA

Come on son we'll have fun ya you betcha
We'll have fun at the Mardi Gras in Gretna
Throw underwear everywhere Now they'll let ya
Golly Gee catch some gees down in Gretna

Come on sports throw your shorts and your panties
Cause tonight I'll be tossing out the beads Oh
Pick a girl, take a whirl ain't it romantic
Toss her beads and watch her flash till you go frantic

{c:Instrumental Verse (Fiddle solo)}

When you go, don't you know, they'll be naked
Chance to take, heavens sake, try to take it
Undress in when we throw beads ya you betcha
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun down in Gretna

{c:CHORUS} {c:Instrumental Verse (Fiddle solo)}

To the tune of "Sweet Betsy From Pike", "The Oul Orange Flute", etc.

CAST OFF YOUR UNDIES ON CARNIVAL DAY
In the town they call Gretna, the matter was dire
The annual carnival failed to inspire
Instead of debauchery, drunkenness, lust
The festive proceedings were drier than dust
"Oh what can be done", the town council cried
"To engender once more in our town civic pride?"
An answer emerged, and was put to the vote
The chucking of knickers from carnival floats!

Tooraloo, tooralay
Cast off your undies on carnival day

The news spread like wildfire all through Gretna town
And in every township for miles all around
Come next Mardi Gras the streets will be thronged
With crowds to take part in the first knickerthon
Oh the streets will be rammed and mighty the crack
From all over the county every man-jack
Will descend upon Gretna to see at first hand
The revitalised march past of costumes and bands

Tooraloo, tooralay
Cast off your undies on carnival day

The day it arrived and the crowds quickly grew
There was every prospect of a right how-d'you-do
There were barbecue roastings and six packs of beer
Sellers of gew-gaws and cheap souvenirs
Three-card trick hustlers and lemonade stalls
Consumers of fire and jugglers of balls
Gunsmoke and whiskey, music and song
Growing more and more frantic as the day it wore on

Tooraloo, tooralay
Cast off your undies on carnival day

The parade set off to a volley of cheers
And whistles and stomping until it appeared
That our eardrums would burst with the weight of the sound
If commotion was water we'd surely have drowned
And down from each float, like a stream in full flow
Came a flurry of underwear, whiter than snow
Redder than crimson and blacker than night
Spotted and dotted and chevronned and striped

Tooraloo, tooralay
Cast off your undies on carnival day

Lacy, enticing and silky and sheer
Large ones to cover the bounteous rear
Gussetless flimsies and matronly bloomers
Small and tight fitting, plenty-of-roomers
Gretna's proud mayor was asked for his views
By a press corps from all of the national news
He beamed and he smiled and the media took note
As he peeled off his shorts on a carnival float

Tooraloo, tooralay
Cast off your undies on carnival day
