14 Nov 09 - 01:04 PM (#2766002) Subject: Lyr Req: Body part songs From: GUEST,Barbara There is a song 'Breaking him up for spares' about women taking the best bits of several men to build a new and better one. It is very funny, but I can't find the words for it. Can anybody help please? Can't help but wonder what kind of response I might get to this request LOL thanks, |

Sorry, but that song was not used....though some very interesting ones were... *grin* I'm sure someone would have tossed it in if they'd known it. (Must be a recently written one.) |

14 Nov 09 - 02:34 PM (#2766047) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Body part songs From: Jim Carroll Possibly not what you had in mind - from Tom Lenihan of West Clare The Bright Silvery Light of the Moon Twas down in Killala in the marry month of May When the roses and the heather was in bloom A fair lady passed me by and she winked with her right eye By the bright silvery light of the moon Twas a case of love at sight, but to us it was delight We got cuddled up together very soon We got married straight away in the church at Killala By the bright silvery light of the moon But she squandered all my dough, to our home we had to go O what a place to spend a honeymoon With no fire in the grate, only looking at the plates By the bright silvery light of the moon But when we went to bed it is then I got in dread For I knew that I was going far too soon For twas there upon a chair I see her golden hair By the bright silvery light of the moon But the worst was yet in store, for when she began to snore She nearly pulled the blanket round the room And twas there upon a peg I see her wooden leg By the bright silvery light of the moon Now young fellas if you meet a fair lady down the street Try her well before you plan your honeymoon Pull her leg and pull her hair and make sure that she's all there By the bright silvery light of the moon Not so much about body parts as collectors of same BURKE AND HARE William Burke it is my name I stand condemned alone. I left my native Ireland In the county of Tyrone. And o'er to Scotland I did sail, Employment for to find; No thought of cruel murder Was then into my mind. At Edinburgh trade was slack, No work there could I find; And so I took the road again, To Glasgow was inclined; But stopping at the West-port To find refreshment there, 0 cursed be the evil hour I met with William Hare! With flattering words he greeted me And said good fortune smiled; He treated me to food and drink And I was soon beguiled; He said:"There's riches to be had, And fortune's to be made, For atomists have need of us. So join me in that trade. Hare he kept a lodging-house Therein a man had died, His death went unreported And of burial was denied We put the dead man in a cart And through the streets did ride. And Robert Knox,the atomist, The dead man he did buy. To rob the new dug graves by night It was not our intent; To be taken by the nightwatch Or by spies was not our bent. The plan belonged to William Hare And so the plot was laid, He said that "murder's safer Than the resurrection trade." Two women they were in the plot The wife of William Hare, The other called McDougal, And travellers they did sanre; They lured them to the lodging house And when they'd drunken deep, Hare and me, we smothered them As they lay fast asleep. At first in fear and dread I was But later grew more bold, In nine short months we killed fifteen And then their bodies sold. The doctors did not question us, But quickly paid our fee, The price they paid,it prospered us, Both William Hare and me. But soon our crimes they were found out In jail we were confined, And cruel guilt it tore my heart And much despairs my mind; And Hare, who first ensnared me And led me far astray Has turned King's evidence on me And sworn my life away Jim Carroll |
