Musicians do it with a beat,
simple steady short and sweet;
And if that fails to light your fire,
they move it up an octave higher.

You pussies get me juices flowing!
I've been around, and now I'm going
to ask that you add something to it.
Pray tell us how musicians do it!

I like to do it a cappella
I'm an old-fashioned sorta fella
None of this three in the round
Two notes make a perfect sound.

I wish though that my instrument
Was younger and not quite so bent
My blow is also sorely tried
And sometimes I'm a bit too tired.

But still I would like to think
Young maidens out upon the drink
Still check out my squeezebox and say
He's Over the Hill but Still OK.

Aye thangewe ...

Want great lips? Take up the flute!
Sounds bad at first but looks real cute.
I love to watch 'em blow and pucker!
(Guess I'm just a raunchy f***er)

But woodwinds are no place to linger
if you want fantastic fingers
that slide and trill and make vibrato.
Oooo! Guitarists get me hot - OHHHH!

Ha! Guitarists are too picky!
Their fingers sweat and get so sticky.
But piano players have great touch;
They tickle till they're told "Too much!!!"

from:Wit and Mirth, or Pills to Purge Melancholy IV, 94: 'The Wanton Trick'.        
Author:        Thomas D'Urfey

"The string of his viol
She put to the trial,
Till she had the full length of the stick;
Her white bellied lute
She set to his flute,
Oh, 'tis but a wanton trick.

Thus she with her lute
And he with his flute,
Held every crotchet and prick;
She learnéd at leisure
Yet payed for the pleasure,
Oh, 'tis but a wanton trick.

............

You maids that make trial
Of a lute or a viol,
Take care how you handle the stick,
If you like not this order,
Come try my recorder,
Oh, 'tis but a wanton trick."

Rhythmically, unless they've only had a bodhran for one week....
