Subject: Lyr Add: HOW FUCKING ROMANTIC^^ From: Bagpuss Date: 08 May 01 - 11:59 AM I am just listening to a newly bought CD (69 Love Songs by The Magnetic Fields) and the last song made me laugh out loud - it was so unexpected. What songs really made you laugh the first time you heard them? Here's the song that made me snort water out of my nose.... How Fucking Romantic
How fucking romantic |

Subject: RE: Songs that make you laugh out loud From: tonedeaf Date: 08 May 01 - 12:03 PM Eric Bogle's Nobody's Moggy! I laughed so hard I almost fell out of my chair, and I'm not easily amused! The thing with that song is that it is simultaneosly so gross and yet so funny, I know I shouldn't like it, but I do! Cedar |

Subject: RE: Songs that make you laugh out loud From: Kim C Date: 08 May 01 - 12:30 PM John Prine's Dear Abby. Or this from his other little gem, All the Best:
I wish you don't do like I do Anybody remember a song Sammy Kershaw had out several years ago - Queen of the Double Wide Trailer? At first I thought that was the most idiotic thing I had ever heard. After I listened to it a few times I thought it almost brilliant:
She said He rebuilds engines and his name is Earl And then of course, there's the saga of why Paddy can't come to work today (The Excuse Note). (Click for Prine Lyrics) (Joe Offer) |

Subject: RE: Songs that make you laugh out loud From: Grab Date: 08 May 01 - 12:47 PM Jake Thackray - Bantam Cock Tom Paxton - Forest Lawn Trad - The Sicknote (aka The Barrel, aka Paddy's not at work today) But the one that had me hysterical most recently was Clementine sung to the tune of Cwm Rhondda. The whole thing of a roomful of guys doing their best Welsh male voice choir on "Oh, my darling Clementine (Clem-en-tiiiine)" was too funny for words, and I was having real problems singing along. In a similar vein, the entire queue in the student's union takeaway singing Unchained Melody is close to unbeatable. Graham. |

Subject: RE: Songs that make you laugh out loud From: Justa Picker Date: 08 May 01 - 12:51 PM Seeing my kids's reaction to the song "Who Let The Dog's Out" made me laugh. Everytime it comes to the chorus, my kids sing along with it, including the barks. (Well I guess you'd have to have been there.) |

Subject: RE: Songs that make you laugh out loud From: DancingMom Date: 08 May 01 - 01:01 PM My kids like Abiyoyo by Pete Seeger. Played it in the car this past weekend. Also "Dad's Got That Look" by John Mc Cutcheon. I like "The Prickly Bush" by Steeleye Span ("if ever I'm out of the prickly bush, I'll never get in it any more!") |

|
Subject: RE: Songs that make you laugh out loud From: Mrs.Duck Date: 08 May 01 - 01:58 PM Not sure what it's called but the one that says "My girlfriends name is Nancy but George is my best friend" Geoff sings it occasionally but was never better received than the time he sang it in Whitby and remembered about half way through that a six foot goth transvestite had just come in the pub and was in fact sitting almost directly behind him!! He/she had in fact gone to the toilet (not sure which one)but the picture of horror on everyones face as they wondered who would finish first was a real sight!! Geoff chose to finish the song given that it is really not offensive and I am still not sure how much was heard by the goth as I was too busy laughing! |
|
Subject: RE: Songs that make you laugh out loud From: Burke Date: 08 May 01 - 01:58 PM Berrymen's "A Chat with your Mother" aka The F-word song. Their yodelling song is really funny, as well. |

Subject: RE: Songs that make you laugh out loud From: Dave the Gnome Date: 08 May 01 - 02:06 PM The Vicar and the Frog - no matter how many times I hear it, it always gets me. Wardrobe of my Soul. Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band. Most stuff by Stanley Accrington (If you have never heard him find some stuff NOW) The Lake District Sheep song (can't remember the title)
The sheep are glowing in the dark Such dreadful puns as - "The land prices are plummeting, no-one can sell a field" (possibly brit only humour - sorry to those over the water!) Cheers Dave the Gnome |

Subject: RE: Songs that make you laugh out loud From: MAG (inactive) Date: 08 May 01 - 02:12 PM Speaking of Cheryl Wheeler, she did a concert in our area a coupla weeks back, and did one about the Handy House -- a brand name of portable john. I think it has to be heard in concert with her intro. She is so brilliant at whipping you back and forth from lyrical love songs to gut busters. If you haven't heard her live, go, go, go. No pun intended. |
|
Subject: RE: Songs that make you laugh out loud From: GUEST,BobP Date: 08 May 01 - 02:14 PM Any song from Bob Gibson / Shel Silverstein's "Makin A Mess Out Of Commercial Success", especially the one where they are makin' a Miller Lite Beer Commmercial on Duval St. in Key West. Also!
A song by a fellow, I believe his name is Trafidlo |

Subject: RE: Songs that make you laugh out loud From: gnu Date: 08 May 01 - 03:05 PM Chainsaw Earl by Buddy Whassisname And The Other Fellas... stunned as me arse, that Earl. I received one by email called The Man Song. Don't know author or artist. About a "whipped" guy. It's hilarious.... you'll never get flowers from me, because if I'm right, you prefer jewelry... |
|
Subject: RE: Songs that make you laugh out loud From: Bardford Date: 08 May 01 - 05:02 PM The Saga of the Ponderosa, sung by Lorne Greene. A rivetting account of the Cartwright migration to the Ponderosa Ranch, the begetting of the Cartwright boys, and the curious and sad propensity of the Cartwright wives to perish. Add an undulating, haunting "Pon-da-rohhh-sa, Pon-da-ROHHH-sa" chorus and I get all teary. I'm sorry, I had no luck doing a lyrics search. Happy Trails, Bardford |

Subject: RE: Songs that make you laugh out loud From: Deni Date: 08 May 01 - 05:26 PM i'm tracing this for when I have time. How ******* romantic indeed. Hilarious! I'm going to sing it. |

Subject: RE: Songs that make you laugh out loud From: Matt_R Date: 08 May 01 - 05:58 PM Funny songs don't usually make me laugh at all. I only laugh at EXTREMELY funny stuff. I've heard some of the stuff above and can sit through it with a straight face! Ones I HAVE laughed to have been:

Subject: RE: Songs that make you laugh out loud From: Nemesis Date: 08 May 01 - 07:02 PM One that made me giggle quite a lot on Friday night at our club, was a Calypso song soneone did "Zombie Jamboree" The chorus "Back to back, Belly to belly I don't give a damn I done dead already. Back to back Belly to belly at the Zombie Jamboree" (Well, you had to be there really!) Cheerily, Hille |

Subject: RE: Songs that make you laugh out loud From: marty D Date: 08 May 01 - 07:25 PM One of the mudcatters sent me a tape of him singing "The Theme From Gilligan's Isle", very slowly. The audience was howling from the first line. If he hadn't also sent me a note saying that he had his hand clapped up against his ear, eyes closed and was doing it like a very traditional Ballad singer, I'd have never known why they were laughing. marty |

Subject: RE: Songs that make you laugh out loudN From: Mickey191 Date: 08 May 01 - 07:39 PM Never fails to get me - Elvis singing "Are you Lonesome Tonight?" Part way thru he giggles a bit and from then on he's a goner. Could not stop laughing no matter how hard he tried. |
|
Subject: RE: Songs that make you laugh out loud From: Seamus Kennedy Date: 08 May 01 - 07:52 PM Guest Bob P, the songwriter's name is Greg Trafidlo. I'm doing a cover of his parody of The Gambler (he calls it the Tumbler) on my new CD, and I don't know where to locate him. Any 'Catters know where I can contact him? Thanks. Seamus |

Subject: RE: Songs that make you laugh out loud From: Joe_F Date: 08 May 01 - 07:54 PM Well, it ain't folk, but: Flanders & Swann: A Transport of Delight, Song of Reproduction, In the Bath, The Reluctant Cannibal, Misalliance, Madeira M'Dear?, Hippopotamus, Bedstead Men, Song of Patriotic Prejudice, The Warthog, The Sloth, The Armadillo Tom Lehrer: everything on his first record |

Subject: RE: Songs that make you laugh out loud From: Jim Dixon Date: 08 May 01 - 08:05 PM Take a look at the thread called Humorous songs. One I posted there is Lou and Peter Berryman's Here's Louie With The Sports. It's like a lot of Berryman songs, in that it sneaks up on you. The first verse seems kind of pointless (or, depending on the song, incomprehensible). By the second verse, you begin to see what they're getting at, and it makes you smile. By the third verse, they're getting really over the top, so you laugh. By the last verse, you're ROFL. |

Subject: Lyr Add: SENSITIVE NEW-AGE GUYS^^ From: Jim Dixon Date: 08 May 01 - 08:32 PM SENSITIVE NEW-AGE GUYS (Words and Music by Christine Lavin and John Gorka, Copyright 1990 CL2 (ASCAP) & Blues Palace Music (ASCAP)) [Words in parentheses are sung by a male chorus.] Who likes to talk about their feelings? (Sensitive new-age guys.) Who's into crystals, into healing? (Sensitive new-age guys.) Who likes to dress like Richard Simmons? (Sensitive new-age guys.) Who are hard to tell from women? (Sensitive new-age guys.) Who likes to cry at weddings? Who thinks boxing is upsetting? Who tapes "The Frugal Gourmet" on their VCR? Who's got "Baby on Board" stickers on their cars?

Subject: RE: Songs that make you laugh out loud From: Chicken Charlie Date: 08 May 01 - 08:57 PM Challis--Was Zombie Jamboree not Kingston Trio?? I think. My fave in the Calypso genre was "Put de Lime in the Coconut," c.1970 something. If I think about it I'll retrieve the artist.
I said, doctor! is there nothing I can take Dave the Gnome-- Don't apologize about your sheep song; there's an eerie parallel over here. Maddening thing is, I tuned into the middle of it on the radio and was called away so I missed the credits, BUT the idea was a herd of cattle breaks through the fence and gets into the White Sands Proving Ground, they end up doing things like glowing instead of lowing, etc. Sounds like an uncanny parallel. What was the background on the sheep thing? Sounds like nuclear accident??? CC |

Subject: RE: Songs that make you laugh out loud From: ddw Date: 08 May 01 - 10:30 PM I'll second the Flanders & Swann and Tom Lehrer and add a lot of stuff from Ray Stevens. I think my favorite is "The Day I Taught Charlene McKenzie How To Drive," followed closely by "The Pirate Song," but there are dozens of others. Also Joel Mabus's "The Preacher and the Flood." The Chad Mitchell Trio's versions of "Sigmund Freud" and "The John Birch Society" are still good for a chuckle. And a lot of the Smothers Brothers' stuff still holds up. david |

Subject: RE: Songs that make you laugh out loud From: BRG Date: 08 May 01 - 11:25 PM MAG - I saw Cheryl Wheeler just a few weeks back in Anchorage and she did that same tune. What a hoot. I'd also have to vote for her "Christine Lavine Could Do It". Bruce |

Subject: RE: Songs that make you laugh out loud From: Peg Date: 09 May 01 - 12:35 AM Dead Egyptian Blues. I forget who wrote it.

Subject: RE: Songs that make you laugh out loud From: Lonesome EJ Date: 09 May 01 - 12:37 AM Merle Travis doing When My Baby Double Talks to Me because it's a very goofy song and Merle has such a damn good time doing it. |
|
Subject: RE: Songs that make you laugh out loud From: Dave the Gnome Date: 09 May 01 - 03:33 AM Charlie, The sheep thing is because the west coast of the English lake district is spoiled by a nuclear reprocessing plant at Sellafield. Should really joke about it I suppose but Stan can make anything sound funny! One artist I forgot to mention - surprised he hasn't shown up yet - Weird Al Yankovich (sp??). I'm just getting into him. Smells like Nirvana is brilliant! Cheers DtG |
|
Subject: RE: Songs that make you laugh out loud From: GUEST,Sooz (at work) Date: 09 May 01 - 03:37 AM Mrs Duck- its The Drag Queen Blues by Richard Digance. I'm just revisiting lots of Jake Thackray via Napster - absolutely brilliant. |
|
Subject: RE: Songs that make you laugh out loud From: DaisyA Date: 09 May 01 - 05:33 AM Another classic Stanley Accrington song is the tragic Ballad of Matty Groves (short, short version). It should be sung as fast as you possibly can: Matty Groves gets seduced by a high class bird, She takes him home to bed. They're at it hammer and tongs when the husband comes home unexpected, "What the bloody hell's going on here?" he says and stabs Matty in the guts, "What d'you think of you lover-boy now?" he says, but she's cheeky so he chops her head off! Another great short song in less than good taste (sorry) goes like this: Old MacDonald was dyslexic - Oh, E, Oh, E, I. Daisy |

Subject: RE: Songs that make you laugh out loud From: mcpiper Date: 09 May 01 - 06:22 AM The Laughing Policeman. I've seen it done well, poorly and the funniest time was when someone tried to do it seriously and properly. Gets me every time. |

Subject: RE: Songs that make you laugh out loud From: Fibula Mattock Date: 09 May 01 - 06:44 AM The Hairy Bowsies (a piss-take Irish ballad group with over-the-top Republican tendancies, courtesy of the comedian Paul Woodfull) had me laughing til I cried the first time I heard them. Their album, "Publocked" has a whole host of maudlin ballads and hard-core patriotism. It's very tongue in cheek. And the songs all sound scarily genuine. My favourite is "Flow river flow", with a chorus that goes: "Flow, river, flow F*ck off to the sea Go where you are wanted To the desert of Gobi" They also have a send-up of "The praties they grow small" entitled "The potatoes aren't looking the best". Twisted, but very, very funny. The interview with him describing the concept of "geographical folk" (singing songs about hills, rivers and mountains with the group Wild Mountain Badger) is pure genius. |

Subject: RE: Songs that make you laugh out loud From: Matt_R Date: 09 May 01 - 08:42 AM And Leopard-Skin Pillbox Hat! A lot of Dylan's songs make me crack up! "Looks just like a mattress, balanced on top of a bottle of wine, in your leopard-skin pillbox haaaaaaaaat!" |
|
Subject: Lyr Add: YOU'RE ONLY AS OLD AS THE WOMAN YOU FEEL From: clansfolk Date: 09 May 01 - 10:04 AM A song by His Worship and The Pig... "
"You're Only As Old As The Woman You Feel."
Now that you're 50 I bet you a quid
Chorus: But don't think that fifty is the end of the line,
Well at fifty, perhaps you're a little concerned,
Chorus
Well shortly you'll start growing hair once again,
Now when you were just twenty-one all your girlfriends,
Chorus.
The last verse is a killer we've performed it infront of a wide range of audiences and it's always amazing to see very prim and proper ladies (of all ages!) burst into laughter when we sing the last verse - amazingly we've never had a complaint and re-bookings keep coming in!
Take care Pete |

Subject: RE: Songs that make you laugh out loud From: GUEST Date: 09 May 01 - 10:39 AM The Zombi Jamboree!!! Haven't thought of that in a while. It took place in a New York cemetary, you know. |

Subject: RE: Songs that make you laugh out loud From: Trapper Date: 09 May 01 - 12:21 PM Peg- Dead Egyptian Blues is by Michael Smith. He has a "new-ish" song called "Famous in France" which is also a hoot!

Subject: RE: Songs that make you laugh out loud From: GUEST,djh Date: 09 May 01 - 01:09 PM Stairway to Gilligans Island - I don't know who did it and I have only heard it twice. "and she's buy-i-ing a stairway to Gilligans I-i-sland". All the words to the intro and outro themes of Gilligan's Island set perfectly to the tune of Stairway to heaven. The funniest part is when it kicks up to the big stupid,distorted, falsetto ending " With Gilligan, the skipper too.....". I know it is just a send up but I can't think of one I ever laughed harded at. |

Subject: RE: Songs that make you laugh out loud From: GUEST,Melani Date: 09 May 01 - 01:25 PM Here in sunny California, land of rolling blackouts and astronomical power bills, we were recently treated to an original called "The PG&E (Pacific Gas & Electric) Song, or Shut Up and Write the Check." We found it very funny as we sat in the dark. I'm also fond of a song I think of as "The Alberta Pirate," though I don't actually know the correct name. It's by a group called the Arrogant Worms and is about a bankrupt farmer who takes up piracy on the high plains. Years ago, I heard a parody of all those "ramblin' man with guitar" songs, I think by Steve Martin, that went:

"Once I was the King of Spain! And who could forget "My Baby Loves A Bunch of Authors"?
"Well you should see my story reading baby, Go Frulads! :D M |

Subject: RE: Songs that make you laugh out loud From: lady penelope Date: 09 May 01 - 02:55 PM For the juvenile at heart, the original hedgehog song It starts " An hedgehog called Dan set up home in a can when he was kicked out of his bucket," The ryhmes are obvious but fun. Jasper Carrot singing anything. Especially the 'spoonerised' version of Chastity Belt! Ella Fitzgerald completely losing 'Mac The Knife' in a live recording from Berlin and improvising as she goes.

Subject: RE: Songs that make you laugh out loud From: Nemesis Date: 09 May 01 - 03:13 PM Zombie Jamboree - it was sung at the club last Friday - gratifying to see the number of people singing it to themselves in the interval. Altogether therapeutic evening - the Sussex Folk Orchestra (2 of) announced they were doing "yodelling" songs. To which there was a mass Roger Moore twitched eyebrow response - until everyone joined in and realised that there's nothing like a little mass primal screaming to induce a feel-good factor. (All that oxygen or something) (all calypso fans catch "The Bamboo Band" at Shoreham Airport Sussex, on 5 June as part of the Adur Festival Just checked out the humerous songs thread - does anyone know where I might find Frog Kissing by Chet Atkins - had it once and left it behind in Darkest Africa Yours cheerily, Hille PS Dave the Gnome - one of the Bamboo Band is also a gnome - and she's female. Would this mean lots of little gnomes if you met over a wheelbarrow/fishing rod??? |

Damned if I can remember the words now! Seamus |

Subject: RE: Songs that make you laugh out loud From: Charley Noble Date: 09 May 01 - 08:57 PM There's also Fred Small's "Hot Frogs on the Loose" and my favorite one from the Barrymans has to be "Why am I Painting the Livingroom?" But then there's Tanglefoot with "Paddy's Finger" and Charlie King singing "The Ants are Blowing in the Wind" and even Si Kahn came up with "Superior Sperm" his fresh-water whaling song...Well, now that I'm back in a good mood I think I'll sign off! |

Subject: RE: Songs that make you laugh out loud From: MAG (inactive) Date: 09 May 01 - 09:08 PM Bruce, I missed that Cheryl song. another time. The one that crams the whole plot of *Hamlet* into a song is done semi-locally by Dan Maher. He says who wrote it, but I don't remember. MAG, from WA State, where they drew down our whole hydroelectric dam system, even tho' we are facing a severe drought. Grow them trees, y'all! |

Subject: RE: Songs that make you laugh out loud From: Little Hawk Date: 10 May 01 - 01:07 PM Matt - "you know, it balances on your head just like a mattress balances on a bottle of wine, your brand new leopard skin pillbox hat" A brilliant and hilarious lyric in a very funny song. "I saw you makin' love to him, you forgot to close the garage door. Well, you might think he loves you for your money, but I know what he REALLY loves you for...it's your brand new leopard skin pillbox hat". What a wicked putdown! Must rank among the most sarcastic lines ever written in popular song. Now then...that "Sensitive New Age Guys" song has its moments, but overall I think it sucks! Number one, Shirley MacLaine IS on the inside track. Number two, there are lots of guys out there who care more about HER orgasms than they do about their own. Believe me, there are. Just ask around here and there. So...songs that make me laugh out loud? * * * The Star Spangled Banner * * * (Specially when it's sung at hockey games for American teams whose lineup is mostly composed of Canadians, Russians, and Swedes...) - LH (taking cover hastily behind the statue of General Brock at Niagara) |

Subject: ADD POP: Who Let the Dogs Out From: Joe Offer Date: 10 May 01 - 04:49 PM These lists of songs in a category are a great opportunity to link to songs we do have, or post songs we don't. Note that I've added links to some of the messages above. Justa Picker, is this the "Who Let the Dogs Out" song you refer to? Interesting, but can't say it moves me... -Joe Offer- Baha Men - Who Let The Dogs Out C Who let the dogs out Woof, Woof, Woof, Woof, Woof Who let the dogs out Woof, Woof, Woof, Woof, Woof Who let the dogs out Woof, Woof, Woof, Woof, Woof Who let the dogs out V1 The party was nice the party was pumping Ah Yepee Ah Yo And everybody having a ball Yepee Ah Yo Till them man them start they name calling Yepee Ah Yo Then them girls respond to the call I hear a woman shout out… Chorus Last year in the dance you had a ball You call me millibug and skettell Get back gruffy, mash scruffy Get back you flea infested mongrel V3 Now I tell meh self dem man go get angry Ah Yepee Ah Yo To hear dem girls calling them canine Yepee Ah Yo But they say hey man dat is part of the party Ah Yepee Ah Yo Them woman in front and they man behind I hear ah woman shout out… Chrous Bridge Ah doggie is nothing if he don't have a bone All doggie hold it Ah doggie is nothing if he don't have a bone All doggie hold it Chorus Last year in the dance you had a ball You call me millibug and skettell Get back fluffy, mash scruffy Get back you flea infested mongrel RAP If I was a dog The party is on I got to get my groove on 'Cause my mind done gone Can't you see the rays coming from my eyes Walking through the place like Digi-man Breaking it down Me and my white tail Short coat Can't see color Any color will do I'll stick on you That's why they call me pit bull 'Cause I'm the man of the land when they see me They say oooooh Chorus (Fade) |

Subject: RE: Songs that make you laugh out loud From: Little Hawk Date: 10 May 01 - 10:28 PM I didn't say I thought about her orgasms. I said I think she's on the "inside track" (meaning she's smart, capable, talented, and creative). I only think about the orgasms of women I'm actually involved with, generally speaking. You don't have to be a SNAG to hate the SNAG song, but for those of you who like it...enjoy, enjoy. - LH |

Subject: RE: Songs that make you laugh out loud From: GUEST,yum yum Date: 11 May 01 - 05:34 AM 'Drumsnot' by Brian O'Rourke. His album 'When I grow up' is one of the funniest I have ever heard. The first time I heard him sing it was at a Slieve Gullion singing weekend in Forkhill. I laughed so hard I had a headache for hours afterwards. yum yum |

Subject: Bastity Chelt From: GUEST,Lord Mondegreen Date: 11 May 01 - 07:11 AM Does anyone have the spoonerised lyrics to Chastity Belt? This one really did make me corpse, and since someone had mentioned it, I thought I might as well ask... Hmm, other songs that made me corpse... Weird Al's "Polka Power" had me unable to breathe... Fascinating Aida, anyone? -- Lord Mondegreen |

Subject: RE: Songs that make you laugh out loud From: Whistleworks Date: 13 May 01 - 06:16 PM There are three people who can sing mostly anything funny and I'll howl. Christine Lavin, John Forester, and fellow Catter Seamus Kennedy. If I had to single out a specific song, it was a duet by Christine Lavin and John Forester on his CD "Entering Marion" called "Way Down Deep You're Shallow". Another on this same CD is "Co-dependant With You". I am laughing just thinking of these. Bob Pegritz |

Subject: RE: Songs that make you laugh out loud From: Kim C Date: 14 May 01 - 05:50 PM Ummm, y'all, I actually have a leopard skin pillbox hat. Fake, of course. I paid $2 for it at a flea market. Reckon I should have a picture taken in it to put in my photo album. There was a song Brother Oswald used to do on the Opry.... I don't remember it now... but it was something about Adam and Eve working in the garden and "she hit him in the eye with a tater." And one of my favorites bt Riders in the Sky:

Subject: Lyr Add: WHEN THE COMMON MARKET COMES TO STANTON-D From: CRANKY YANKEE Date: 15 May 01 - 02:23 PM Adge Cutler's, "When the Common Market Comes to Stanton-Drew" I Now folks 'round here they say, We'll have to change our ways Papers say so, guess it must be true We'll have to take a chance with Germany and France And live like all them furrin people do. Iwonder if they'll put the Eifel tower on "Harp Tree Hill" And "gondolers" down on the river "Chew". , Shall us all drive on the right and drink up all the night, When the Common Market comes to Staunton-Drew"? II Now people seem to think they're goin' to change the drink Rumors' flyin' and they could be right Some say they seen a tank of Portugese "vin-blank" Jammed in "pensford High Street" t'other night. They say that port and brandy will sell for a bob a quart And "The Druid's Arms" won't close 'til "ver-nigh" two. And we'll all drink caviar out of a g'ert big gallon jar When the Common Market comes to Staunton-Drew III Now when market time comes 'round down at the pub they'll all be found Jammin' up the public bar all day And you won't get through the doors, "fer" Moe-seers" and "Sig-noors" arguin' on the price of summer hay. With Bristol full of Belgians, and Dighton full of Dutch why the "Farrun" (?) farmers won't know what to do, And we may see old "Dee Gall" with a wagon load of coal When the Common Market comes to Staunton-Drew. IV As for what we eat, we must export more meat Send them all our best prime beef and ham While we do stuff our guts with "Trannsylvania" nuts And garlic flavored processed German Spam. When "George" comes home from milkin' He'll get a big surprise> When he sits down expectin' Irish Stew And his wife says "George I'll get 'ee, a gert dollop of spaghetti" When the Common Market comes to Staunton-Drew. V Now, Evenin's , I suppose, we'll sup on our "Vin-Rose" just as they does in the "Argenteen" And watch they "Furrin Blokes" in their gert big 'ats an' cloaks "Flamengo-in'" down on the village green. We'll 'ave to watch the lasses when they comes out at night The village boys will 'ave to form a que . And well say, "oo-la-la-wee- wee", Instead of "George how be with thee" When the common market comes to Staunton-Drew. Sung to "Little Old Log Cabin on my Claim" you're quite right, I don't know how to spell English Place names, NOR-DO THE ENGLISH PEOPLE. Cases in point, "Leicester", Towcester, the river Thames, ""Belvoire Street" In the city of Leicester (pronounced, "Beaver Street in the city of Lester) Here in Newport, RI, we pronounce "Thames Street", "THAMES STREET" (rhymes with "James Street") |

Subject: RE: Songs that make you laugh out loud From: CRANKY YANKEE Date: 15 May 01 - 02:31 PM I truly loved England the 4 years I was there, found the English people to be a very likeable lot. But, Name-wise, they don't know how to spell (or read whichever is the case) Chelmondelay (pronounced "Chumley") SaintJohn (sinjin), and the clincher, FEATHERINGSTONHAUGH (Fanshaw) We don't either, for instance Arkansas, Houston, Texas, Maryland etc. |
