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)

Laurence Stallings, "The War to End War," American Heritage (Oct., 1959), referring to 1918:

"Then there was a great marching song, ‘Over There,’ which the lads overseas changed to ‘Underwear,’ with some unprintable allusions to the long drawers furnished by the quartermaster’s department."

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.

Sincerely,
Gargoyle
have you ever witnessed married morman men's underware in the loc
ker room?

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

I'm surprised this little ditty has not been included on here, sung in Cornwall in the 1970s:

We break up! We break up!
We don't care if the school blows up.
No more English, no more French
No more sitting on the old school bench.
Teacher! Teacher! We don't care,
If we see your underwear;
Is it black or is it white;
Oh my gar its dynamite!

Not sure where it is from - French was certainly NOT a subject at our primary school. I suspect older siblings at Redruth grammar school.

Ed Pickford once wrote a song entitled 'You Can't Wear Your Knickers at Ascot' as a response to a ban on hot pants at the race meeting.
Then there's 'The Tailor's Britches', where the tailor swaps clothes with his dance partner and is left only her petticoat to preserve his modest, which eventually falls to the ground:
revealing for all of the others to see,
Just what it was that endeared you to me (another song)

And last but not least:

I know a girl in Waterloo,
She don't wear no - yes she do.

I know a girl in Berkley Square,
She don't wear no underwear

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.

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!

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.

Seven and six a pair "



came with slightly different lines in my childhood, which (if I might be so bold) added a new dimension of dramatic urgency:

We three kings of Leicester Square
Selling knickers tuppence a pair
So fantastic, no elastic,
Very unsafe to wear.

A few more items from the underwear drawer:

Take off, take off my gown of silk
But let my petticoat be,
And tie a napkin round my eyes
That the gallows I may not see.
             Mary Hamilton (and also similar in Earl of Warriston)

What's it to any man whether or no
Whether I'm easy or whether I'm true?
As I lifted her petticoat easy and slow
And tied up my sleeve for to buckle her shoe.
             Dom Behan

Flashy dashy petticoats
Flashy dashy shawls
Four and a tanner's worth of boots -
We're the Gallus Molls
             from Jeannie Robertson

Choruses of different versions of Robin-a-Thrush include 'Flashy green petticoats' and 'Show us your petticoat'

She's kilted up her petticoats
And after him rode she.
                False Lover Won Back and just about any other ballad where a girl gets on a horse

As we jogged on together, my boys, together side by side
By chance this fair maid's garter, by chance it came untied
For fear that she might lose it, I unto her did say
"Oh my love your garter is come untied, sing folderoliddle all day.

As we jogged on together, my boys, the grass was growin' high
I laid this girl upon her back, her garter for to tie
While tying of her garter, such sights you never did see
And we both jogged on together, me boys, sing folderoliddle all day.
             Umps and Dumps

And to delve into even greater vulgarity:

The rich girl uses a brassiere
The poor girl uses string
But Dinah uses nothing at all
She just lets them swing.

I wrote one about a friend's problems with contemporary female underwear. I have just loaded it onto my old band's myspace, in case anyone has a minute to have a listen. I don't really check the site now as I have a Rockhen one as my main one instead, but please feel free to check out the song, 'Give Me A Clue'... particularly if you have had confusion over aspects of the aforementioned items... :-)

Check out song, 'Give Me A Clue' :-)

Then there's the traditional sea shanty "Serafina," a busy flash gal from Calleo, on the West Coast of South America:

Serafina's got no drawers,
I've been ashore and seen her -
Serafina, Serafina!
She's got no time to put 'em on,
Hard-working Serafina!
Serafina, Sera-phi-na!

Cheerily,
Charley Noble

Teacher teacher I declare, I see someone's underwear. Might be pink, might be white, might be filled with dynamite.

That's the way I remember it.

The Tennessee Bird Walk

...
Take away their feathers and the birds'll walk around in underwear
...

cho: Oh, remember me my darling, when spring is in the air
When the bald-headed birds are whispering everywhere
When you see them walkin' southward in their dirty underwear
It's The Tennessee Birdwalk.

...
And how about some feathers, so their underwear no longer will be seen
...

Subject: Lyr Add: A LITTLE BIT OF 'LASTIC (Richie Kavanagh)
From: GUEST,Peter Laban
Date: 22 Mar 09 - 06:39 PM

A song I heard sung by Vincent Boyle the traditional way although it later turned out to be a Ritchie Kavanagh song.


"A LITTLE BIT OF 'LASTIC"
Lyrics and Music by Richie Kavanagh

I'm a little bit of 'lastic an a little bit of lace
I was made for to cover your important little place
Lads try to get their hands on me and end up in disgrace
I'm a little bit of 'lastic an a little bit of lace

I come in all kinds of colours every shape an size
The one thing about me is the element of surprise
Every Monday morning I'm hung out on the line
And left there all day if the weather it is fine

I'm a little bit of 'lastic an a little bit of lace
I was made for to cover your important little place
Lads try to get their hands on me and end up in disgrace
I'm a little bit of 'lastic an a little bit of lace

Ah sure I'm hanging here upon the line all through out the day
An as the lads pass by they all ways look my way
Ya know now if I could talk to them such story's I could tell
But I know the way the look at me the know it all to well

I'm a little bit of 'lastic an a little bit of lace
I was made for to cover your important little place
Lads try to get their hands on me and end up in disgrace
I'm a little bit of 'lastic an a little bit of lace

Now the make me much smaller I hardly cover it at all
A course the price is bigger though I am very small
Now when I get a bit torn I know the end is near
Thought I hear that big Maggie has the same one 20 year

I'm a little bit of 'lastic an a little bit of lace
I was made for to cover your important little place
Lads try to get their hands on me and end up in disgrace
I'm a little bit of 'lastic an a little bit of lace
