Subject: Antony Clare From: SlowAlan Date: 29 Aug 01 - 09:20 AM Can anyone recall the lyrics for a WW2 song, called Anthony Clare.
All I recall is "There was a man called Antony Clare
For they were large balls, large balls It has a great tune, and a good song to hum while talking to an politician or some other pompous arse (upon whom everyone has sat except a man). |
Subject: Lyr/Chords Add: ANTHONY CLAIRE From: Charley Noble Date: 29 Aug 01 - 09:34 AM I posted this recently but I never seem to be able to find what I posted so let's run it again, at least the version I learned; I recently forwarded this song to a duo in Texas appropriately called the "Tudor Tarts.":
After the singing of Dennis Puleston of Brookhaven, Long Island, NY, in the 1950's.

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Antony Clare From: Charley Noble Date: 29 Aug 01 - 05:24 PM SA – never heard that verse but thank you in turn. If you search the Digital Tradition database you may find another version of the song. I know if you do a "thread search" you'll find some former discussion and some alternative verses but I'm very partial to Dennis' verses; I can still hear him roaring them out. ;-) This song is fairly rare, and I'm not sure who was originally responsible for it, probably someone in the 1920's or 1930's. |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Antony Clare From: GUEST,toggernut Date: 13 May 12 - 09:13 AM As I heard it in 1955. Anthony Clare was a conjuror Quite a bit of a conjuror Always doing his favourite trick Of turning and twisting his balls around For he had large balls,big balls Balls as heavy as lead With a dextrous flick of his muscular wrist He could turn them right over his head Ra,ra,ra,ra ra,ra,ra,ra As he was walking down the street Pretty Miss Jones he chanced to meet With her faithful hound at her feet A-twisting and turning its balls around Ra, etc As he was turning his balls around Down they fell with a hell of a bound Right on top top of the faithful hound That was turning and twisting its balls around Ra, etc Little Miss Jones was quite distraught She said she'd take the matter to court For in her opinion nobody ought To be turning and twisting their balls around Ra, etc Anthony Clare stood in the dock And gave the court a hell of a shock By insisting on showing the jury his cock And turning and twisting his balls around Ra, etc The judge said "The case is clear, The fine will be one barrel of beer For any bugger that comes in here And turning and twisting his balls around!" Ra, etc |
