Subject: RE: I have lost my underwear From: GUEST Date: 08 Aug 04 - 07:51 AM During the 1940s in Ireland the Flour used in baking bread came in bags made from linen, a couple of these bags sewn together made many a good sturdy pair of knickers. Printed on the Flour bags was the firms name along with their motto,"the early bird gets the worm" and this bird was a Blackbird, we would have teased the girls by requests to see their"Blackbird". Although I don`t remember any rhyme relating to this. |
Subject: RE: I have lost my underwear From: Big Jim from Jackson Date: 08 Aug 04 - 09:53 AM Sandy Paton, on one of his and Caroline's kids' albums on Folk-Legacy, has a great song, "I Wonder Where's My Underwear". It's not the song you are asking about, but it might add to your song list (a set about underwear?). It is certainly a song worth learning. Kids like it. |

Subject: RE: I have lost my underwear From: GUEST Date: 08 Aug 04 - 01:11 PM Connor Girls, yes I remember this from my girl guide campfire days, but we used to sing "bye, bye long johns" - a parody of Bye, Bye Blackbird.

Subject: RE: I have lost my underwear From: Azizi Date: 13 Apr 05 - 06:19 PM I was interested to read Big Jim from Jackson's post from 09 Aug 04 - 09:57AM about Tonto saying the "Lone Ranger buy me 'nother pair!" In the mid 1990's in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania area I collected what appears a current version of that Lone Ranger rhyme: Batman & Robin flyin in the air Batman lost his underwear Batman said "Me don't care. Robin'll buy me another pair. This rhyme still appears to recited with no accompanying motions. I'm not sure if the children get that this rhyme supports the rumored homosexual relationship between Batman and Robin. Maybe I'm jsut reading that inference into this children's rhyme. |
Subject: RE: I have lost my underwear From: Azizi Date: 28 Jun 05 - 06:51 PM Way back in April 2005 Guest dustyrose wrote that she {he?} was going crazy trying to remember the rest of this rhyme: "Teacher teacher I declare, I see ---- underwear, might be pink, might be blue" -snip- Maybe it's the name "dusty", but this line popped in my head when I finished reading that post: "might be dirty just like you". I vaguely remember "Teacher, Teacher I declare" from my childhood in Atlantic City, New Jersey in the 1950s. Could this be the forgotten line or is this an example of the folk process at work? I haven't a clue.. |
Subject: RE: I have lost my underwear From: Charley Noble Date: 28 Jun 05 - 07:31 PM Then there is Fred Small's "Long Underwear" song with the great line, as I recall, about if you think removing underwear is nice, just think of the satisfaction you'll get by removing it twice!

Subject: RE: I have lost my underwear From: Azizi Date: 10 Dec 05 - 09:59 AM I found these two rhymes on THIS wonderful thread of children's rhymes: "Here are some of my memories from summer camp which I didn't see here: Oh I wear my pink pajamas In the summer when it's hot And I wear my flannel nightie In the winter when it's not And sometimes in the spring And sometimes in the fall I jump between the sheets With nothing on at all Glory, glory what a wonderful way to sleep Glory, glory what a wonderful way to sleep Glory, glory what a wonderful way to sleep With nothing on at all and, to the tune of "God Bless America": God bless my underwear My only pair Stand beside them And guide them Through the wear and the tear of the wash From the washer To the dryer To the clothesline In the air God bless my underwear My only pair Kind of tame compared to Miss Susie, but apparently of some historical interest. One I never thought I'd forget but seem to have done just that is that school song to the tune of the Battle Hymn of the Republic; can't remember if it was celebrating the last day of school or promoting arson or something even more malevolent. Oh well; sometimes senior moments suck donkey droppings." posted by Pushing Forty at April 9, 2004 [re-posted with permission from that site's members] |

Subject: RE: I have lost my underwear From: Uncle_DaveO Date: 08 Oct 06 - 08:48 PM Azizi gave us this chorus: Glory, glory what a wonderful way to sleep Glory, glory what a wonderful way to sleep Glory, glory what a wonderful way to sleep With nothing on at all The way I learned a chorus to that song was: Glory, glory, hallelujah! Glory, glory, what's it to ya? Glory, glory, wind blows through ya When you jump right in between the sheets With nothing on at all I might add that in my misspent youth in Minnesota we always sang that song with a burlesque Scandihoovian accent. Thus, that chorus was sung like this: Glory, glory, hallelujah! Glory, glory, vhat's it to ya? Glory, glory, vind blows t'rough ya Vhen you yoomp right in betveen da sheets Vit nutting on at all! Dave Oesterreich |
Subject: RE: kids' song: I have lost my underwear From: Rowan Date: 08 Oct 06 - 11:36 PM And the last line of Dave's chorus was often sung "when she jumped between the lilywhite sheets with nothing on at all" Although I dare say several parodies have the same construction. And, speaking of underwear, although it wasn't a chidren's song where I lived when I was a child (before I became a Child fan) there's Woad in the DT. Cheers, Rowan |

Subject: RE: kids' song: I have lost my underwear From: Mo the caller Date: 09 Oct 06 - 08:05 AM I was walking on the beach yesterday and we were wondering about a pair of lost knickers in the sand dunes (the theory was someone changed after paddling and forgot to take them home). It brought to mind the Susie chant which my daughter heard at secondary school (so in the 80's). She claimed there were no actions or clapping done to it. A friend of mine was shocked to hear her 5 year old grand daughter recite it (early 90s I think). Ooo ah, got no bra Left my knickers in my boyfriends car. |

It's been a while since I was pushing forty. And I'm much too modest a person to reveal on a public forum whether I think that sleeping with nothing on at all is a glorious, wonderful way to sleep. ;o} |

Subject: RE: I have lost my underwear From: Murray on Saltspring Date: 21 Dec 06 - 08:35 PM A variation of this gives the coy verse Oh Sir Jasper, do not touch me Oh Sir Jasper do not touch me Oh Sir Jasper do not touch me, As she slipped between the sheets with nothing on at all. Tune is the chorus of 'John Brown's Body', of course; and the joke [such as it is] consists in the omission of the last word of the first 3 lines, then the two last words, and so on, till you get "Oh Sir Jasper!", "Oh Sir!" and finally "Oh!" |
Subject: RE: I have lost my underwear From: GUEST Date: 03 Apr 08 - 12:27 AM "I have lost my underwear" was a song made up by David Graham of Christchurch New Zealand in the 1970s, to the tune of "Bye bye blackbird". The version given here is probably distantly derived from it, as there are lines that don't make sense here, but did make sense originally. It went - I have lost my underwear, I don't care, I'll go bare. Bye bye, long johns. [You were always close to me], tickled me, tee hee hee! Bye bye, long johns. How I loved that little trapdoor behind me, You all knew exactly where to find me. I have lost my underwear, I don't care, I'll go bare. Long johns, bye bye. Not a hundred percent sure of the bit in square brackets, but think it's right. pelliondance |

Subject: RE: I have lost my underwear From: Joe_F Date: 17 May 08 - 08:57 PM This thread exemplifies a curious shift that the dictionaries (AHD, MWC13, OED) have not caught up with. "Underwear", to the dictionaries (& me), is an uncountable noun referring generally to undershirts, underpants, etc. But to many Americans these days it means underpants, and the identification is so complete that it takes plural verbs & pronouns. I suppose this must have gotten started as a euphemism -- generality standing in for vagueness, as in "bathroom" for "toilet", "marketing" for "promotion", etc. |

Subject: RE: I have lost my underwear & other underwear songs From: GUEST,TJ in San Diego Date: 26 Oct 09 - 01:46 PM I lost my mind and composed this one in honor of this unique theme: Poor Jon was a young lad who toiled in tall cotton. A handsome young fellow who'd be long forgotten Were it not for the time, when most lads were at war, Young Jon found himself, after work, in a bar. A hard-working crew of young ladies came in, They were doing men's work, a-getting crops in.. They were all filling in for their male counterparts, Engaged in some battle in far distant parts. They soon cast their eyes on our hero, Big Jon, Who, noting the attention, began leading them on. And then, in a flash, poor Jon was surrounded For the young ladies' ardor, nay, lust - soon abounded. He was, after all, the first man they had seen Since their regular consorts had marched from the scene. They grasped at his shirt, and soon ripped it to shreds, They went for the breeches, filling poor Jon with dread. For what, after all, could one gentleman do, To satisfy such a libidinous crew? He made for the door, lost his boots in the scuffle, With his pants at the half-mast, he mastered the shuffle. He shed them right smartly as he ran down the stairs, With the girls in pursuit and himself nearly bare. What saved him from hell, at the hands of those pickers, Was the timely invention of breakaway knickers! He sprinted, he galloped, he ran double fast, He eluded them finally, albeit bare-assed. And so Jon's reputation continued to grow, Where the women are lusty and the tall cotton grows. He saved those young maidens from the dread Scarlet Letter, But, now, thinking on it, he could have done better. Were it me, praise the Lord, I'd have lain down and took it, But poor feckless Jon, why, the fool just forsook it. When the question of honor thus clouded his thinking, Jon fled from the scene with his "tail lights" a-blinking. I'm sure the girls' menfolk were grateful and all, But they laughed ever after 'bout how Jon missed the Ball. |

Subject: Lyr Add: WALKIN' ROUND IN WOMEN'S UNDERWEAR From: Genie Date: 25 Aug 10 - 10:30 PM WALKIN' ROUND IN WOMEN'S UNDERWEAR (Bob Rivers) Lacy things the wife is missin', Didn't ask for her permission. I'm wearin' her clothes, Her silk pantyhose, Walkin' 'round in women's underwear. In the store there's a teddy, With little straps like spaghetti. It holds me so tight, Like handcuffs at night, Walkin' 'round in women's underwear. In the office there's a guy named Melvin, He pretends that I am Murphy Brown. He'll say, "Are you ready?" We'll say,"Whoa, Man! Let's wait until the wife is out of town!" Later on, if you wanna, We can dress like Madonna, Put on some eyeshade, And join the parade, Walkin' 'round in women's underwear!

Subject: RE: I have lost my underwear & other underwear songs From: Haruo Date: 07 Nov 12 - 10:33 AM I see Mary Garvey mentioned Valking in my Vinter Undervear by Stan Boreson; one of his last songs—he's not dead, but he has stopped singing for the public—is about the absence of underwear and all other attire: I Just Don't Look Good Naked Anymore. (YouTube from a 2007 video) I'm surprised I don't see Vinter Undervear's lyrics in the database or forum. Will try to post later if nobody beats me to it. |

Subject: RE: I have lost my underwear & other underwear songs From: Rusty Dobro Date: 07 Nov 12 - 03:50 PM And from the late and very great Monty Parkin, this parody: I wore my pants from Marks and Spencers And made pretences that they would do But in my mind I felt contrary, They were too lairy, not a nice plain blue. Far, far away, my wife's aunt Elsie, Who lived near Chelsea, sent them to me. And so I sat, through the Christmas season, With my new undies on, and watched TV. A crashing bore, the same old drag, When it was done I grabbed a bag, I went down to Marks and Spencers, I was not alone..... 'May I return these pants, please, missus, They're all right for sissies, not for us real men.' She looked at me, a trifle weary, 'I suppose so, deary', and I went home again. Give me my dull old pants, give me my dull old pants, Give me my dull old pants, give me my dull old pants. This was written for Monty's weekly spot on Radio Kent, but perhaps understandably they thought it might offend the original noble composer, and vetoed it. I still trot it out every January, though. |

Subject: Lyr Add: UNDERWEAR (Barry Louis Polisar) From: raredance Date: 19 Nov 18 - 11:06 PM UNDERWEAR - Barry Louis Polisar As recorded by Barry Louis Polisar on "Off-Color Songs for Kids" (1983) CHORUS: Underwear is everywhere but mostly underneath. Usually, you can't see what goes on beneath Ragged clothes or evening gowns or the finest three-piece suit. Underwear is everywhere; there is no substitute. Everyone is equal when it comes to underwear, Because beneath your underwear it's just yourself that's there. Everyone wears underwear -- or at least they should. Underwear is lots of things, but mostly it is good. CHORUS Some like the feel of cotton. I share this belief. Likewise, I don't like boxer shorts; give me a pair of briefs. Some don't like to talk about it; that's because they're shy. People laugh at underwear, but I do not know why. CHORUS "Now don't use bleach on underwear." That's what my mom will say. "Cause bleach will eat the fabric and soon they'll wash away." Underwear with lots of holes is a sorry sight, Look around and try to see who's wearing theirs too tight! CHORUS TWICE |
Subject: RE: I have lost my underwear & other underwear songs From: GUEST,.gargoyle Date: 22 Dec 18 - 04:49 PM Not a song...but certainly germane to ths thread. I have a "hobby" of fixing half century old UK machinery in the USA. It is a challenge...and frequently, as the covers come off, I am reminded of the Lawrence Ferlinghetti 1955 poem, "Underware." I didn't get much sleep last night thinking about underwear Have you ever stopped to consider underwear in the abstract When you really dig into it some shocking problems are raised Underwear is something we all have to deal with Everyone wears some kind of underwear Even Indians wear underwear Even Cubans wear underwear The Pope wears underwear I hope Underwear is worn by Negroes The Governor of Louisiana wears underwear I saw him on TV He must have had tight underwear He squirmed a lot Underwear can really get you in a bind Negroes often wear white underwear which may lead to trouble You have seen the underwear ads for men and women so alike but so different Women's underwear holds things up Men's underwear holds things down Underwear is one thing men and women have in common Underwear is all we have between us You have seen the three-color pictures with crotches encircled to show the areas of extra strength and three-way stretch promising full freedom of action Don't be deceived It's all based on the two-party system which doesn't allow much freedom of choice the way things are set up America in its underwear struggles thru the night Underwear controls everything in the end Take foundation garments for instance They are really fascist forms of underground government making people believe something but the truth telling you what you can or can't do Did you ever try to get around a girdle Perhaps Non-Violent Action is the only answer Did Gandhi wear a girdle Did Lady Macbeth wear a girdle Was that why Macbeth murdered sleep And that spot she was always rubbing Was it really in her underwear Modern Anglo-Saxon ladies must have huge guilt complexes always washing and washing and washing Out damned spot Underwear with spots very suspicious Underwear with bulges very shocking Underwear on clothesline a great flag of freedom Someone has escaped his underwear May be naked somewhere Help But don't worry Everybody's still hung up in it There won't be no real revolution And poetry’s still the underwear of the soul And underwear still covering a multitude of faults in the geological sense strange sedimentary stones, inscrutable cracks For does not the body stay alive after death and still need its underwear or outgrow it some organs are said to reach full maturity only after the head stops holding them back If I were you I'd keep aside an oversize pair of winter underwear Do not go naked into that good night And in the meantime keep calm and warm and dry No use stirring ourselves up prematurely over Nothing Move forward with dignity hand in vest Don't get emotional And death shall have no dominion There's plenty of time my darling Are we not still young and easy Don't shout.

Subject: RE: I have lost my underwear & other underwear songs From: GUEST,Mark Finn Date: 27 Jul 21 - 06:56 PM The Scotsman - Bryan Bowers written by Mike Cross Well, a Scotsman clad in kilt left a bar one evening fair, And one could tell by how he walked that he'd drunk more than his share. He fumbled 'round until he could no longer keep his feet, And he stumbled off into the grass to sleep beside the street. Chorus: Ring ding diddle iddle ay dee oh, Ring di diddly ay oh, (repeat last line of previous verse) About that time two young and lovely girls just happened by, One says to the other with a twinkle in her eye: "See yon sleeping Scotsman, so strong and handsome built? I wonder if it's true what they don't wear beneath the kilt!" (Chorus) They crept up on that sleeping Scotsman quiet as could be; Lifted up his kilt about an inch so they could see. And there, behold, for them to view beneath his Scottish skirt, Was nothin' more than God had graced him with upon his birth. (Chorus) They marvelled for a moment, then one said: "We must be gone. Let's leave a present for our friend before we move along." As a gift they left a blue silk ribbon tied into a bow, Around the bonnie star the Scot's kilt did lift and show. (Chorus) Now the Scotsman woke to nature's call, and stumbled towards the trees. Behind the bush he lifts his kilt, and gawks at what he sees. And in a startled voice he says, to what's before his eyes, "Oh, lad I don't know where ye been, but I see ye won first prize!" (Chorus) |

I was born with this condition Called lingerie on the brain. CHORUS BRIDGE: The first time she dropped her linen In the hamper on the bathroom floor, I just stood there a-grinnin’.

(burlesque trombone vamp to piano) There is no talking in the chapel, There is no talking anywhere. There is no eating in between meals. The chapel is secure We always say our prayer, Is there something under there? Under where? Under there? There's no napping in the abby, We hardly sleep at all We never speak to women We never have phone calls (She called me!l) There's no magazines or papers We have left the world alone No smoking, No drinking, No thinking about your home Hora, by hora, there is no smiling here, Always work and never play Is there something under there? Under where? Under there! We always keep our heads down Our feet are always there Our habits are of coarse wool I know your habits made of wool And your feet are always there But what do you wear under there? Under where? Underwear! Just remember this one rule And there is nothing left to say Semper ubi, Sub ubi, Semper ubi quae Always wear underwear Always and everywhere Always wear underwear Always wear underwear Always and everywhere Always wear underwear (chorus line formation vamp) Is there something over there? Is there something over there? Is there something over there? Is there something in the air? In the Abby in a prayer Is there something over there? There IS something over there Over where? Under where? There IS something over there Over where? Under where? So just remeber kid ... (Gregorian chant) Semper ubi, Sub ubi, Et tu uquae. (repeat) Semper rae corpus. Semper deus Ummm, ummm, day uummmm Sincerely, Gargoyle numquam ubi |

Subject: Lyr Add: KEEP YOUR UNDERSHIRT ON (Kalmar, Ruby) From: Jim Dixon Date: 02 Jun 24 - 02:43 PM From the recording at the Internet Archive: KEEP YOUR UNDERSHIRT ON Words by Bert Kalmar, music by Harry Ruby. As recorded by Ben Pollack and His Park Central Orchestra, with vocal refrain by Burt Lorin, on Victor 22267-A, 1929. Curb your emotion; don’t go off your nut. I’ve got a notion I could love you, but Don’t get excited; keep your undershirt on. Maybe I’ve got stuff you admire, sis. Baby, I’m hot stuff, so remember this: Don’t get excited; keep your undershirt on. I always let the girls kiss me If they like it (Oh!), and they love it. (Oh!) After I leave them, they’re total wrecks. Oh, baby, I’m just full of sex. Though you’ll upset me, that’s the chance I’ll take. Go on and pet me, but for heaven’s sake Don’t get excited; keep your undershirt on. - - - The song was written for the musical comedy “Top Speed” which was performed as a Broadway play in 1929 and as a film in 1930. In the play, it was sung as a duet by Lester Allen and Ginger Rogers; in the film it was sung by Joe E. Brown and Laura Lee; however, it was cut before release in the United States. The song’s lyrics are printed in the published script of the play “Animal Crackers” starring the Marx Brothers. “Animal Crackers” was performed as a play in 1928 and adapted as a film in 1930. According to the script, it was to be sung as a duet by Captain Spaulding (played by Groucho Marx) and Mrs. Rittenhouse (played by Margaret Dumont). However, I do not find “Keep Your Undershirt On” listed in any description of the play or the film. |

Subject: RE: I have lost my underwear & other underwear songs From: GUEST,.gargoyle Date: 06 Jun 24 - 07:57 PM I grew up ... begging for stories about my parent's childhood. I was unlike the city I knew. They grew up in the dry-lands. One story, concerned a local Russian immigrant family, in fact lots of stories about that family. Every fall the children would be sewed/stiched into woolen, drop-seat, long-handle, underwear. They would be "released" in the spring. I heard a similar story from a Slave family's parents, from when they were still in "the old country. As punishment, they had to walk over dried peas on the floor, in their woolen underwear, in front of neighbor girls. Sincerely Gargoyle The fine line between culture bowl of soup vs salad, is awkward. A young boy was observed, in school with deep bruises. He had been treated for influenza by his family. "Coining" is when a silver coin is rubbed/massaged deeply parallel to the lymphatic system |
Subject: Lyr Add: LONG UNDERWEAR (Heath, Fletcher, Marr) From: Jim Dixon Date: 06 Jun 24 - 11:04 PM From the sheet music at Baylor University: IF YOU’RE OLD FASHIONED YOU’RE LONG UNDERWEAR Words and music by Bobby Heath, Archie Fletcher & Alex Marr, 1926. 1. There’s a brand-new saying that is going ’round— Funny little saying the girls and boys have found. At each dance or party, all that you will hear Is the crazy little word; it’s ringing in your ear: CHORUS 1: Long underwear, long underwear, That’s the crazy little word that you hear ev’rywhere. If you are old-fashioned, someone will declare You’re a joke, an old slowpoke; you’re just long underwear. 2. Girlies with long dresses, they have seen their day. Pretty golden tresses, all have gone to stay. Good old-fashioned waltzers that were once in style, If they were around today, we’d say with a smile: CHORUS 2: Long underwear, long underwear, Take off those old-fashioned clothes and toss them in the air. Learn to do the Charleston, then boy-bob your hair. Be in style and wear a smile, but not long underwear. |
