Subject: RE: Add:Show Me the Way to Go Home (Officers' Version) From: Joe Offer Date: 16 Aug 15 - 04:54 PM A Mudcatter (Who Shall Remain Nameless) contacted me for lyrics to "Show Me the Way to Go Home." She was going to perform for a convent-load of nuns, and the nuns requested this song to close the program. I'm sure I learned the song myself while I was attending Catholic elementary school.... -Joe- |

Subject: RE: Add:Show Me the Way to Go Home (Officers' Version) From: Joe Offer Date: 16 Aug 15 - 07:19 PM Nuns tend not to be as rigid as religious men seem to be. If it's a good song, nuns are likely to enjoy it, despite the taboos. -Joe- This thread has been clobbered by spammers, so is temporarily closed.
