"Fawk the Queen!" cried the King, and fifty thousand men were trampled in the onslaught, for in those days the Kings word was law. Sorry don't know where it comes from but do know a few of the lines.

'Oh Shit!' said the King, and a thousand arseholes strained to comply.

'Stop' shouted Daniel, and a thousand turds were nipped in the bud....

Something on the lines of that do you mean???

Micca knows this.... but then he would...

These are lines from the great epic poem: T'was the night of the king's castration And the royal ball was coming off.

Balls said the queen, if I had t(w)o I'd be king. The king laughed because he had to, The queen cried because she wanted t(w)o

Where is the Queen, said the king. She's in bed with laryngitis. I'll kill that Greek bastard .

There are many other stanzas which are rather funny but too scatologic for me to repeat in public with- out preparation with Jack Daniels. I still remember all the verses even though I learned them 50 years ago

From PARISH with memories of an insufficiently squandered youth.

It's bee a long time since i've heard this song, and i can't remember enough of it to write. It really should go into the data base as a folk classic. Parish, if you can enter it, it would surely be welcomed and received as the grat classic that it is. Please!!!

Here is everything I had on this. Surely, some of you will remember it differently and perhaps together we can come up with the whole thing. It's called either:

"T'was the Knight of the King's Castration" or perhaps "The Death of the 69,000"

Counts, no accounts and discounts were flinging camel shit at each other, for in those days bullshit was unknown.

"Balls" said the Queen, "if I had two I'd be King."

The King laughed, not because he had to, but because he had two.

Up strode David on his white stud horse; up strode the King on his diamond studded jock strap.

"Where's the Princess?" asked David. "She's in bed with Diphtheria" said the King. "What! Is that Greek son-of-a-bitch here again?" For his insolence, David was thrown into the lions' den.

Up strode the mangy beast; up strode David and grabbed the lion by his left nut. "Ouch" said the lion. "That tickles." "What tickles?" asked David. "Testicles" said the mangy beast. So they chalked one up for the lion.

For his bravery, David was asked to come forth, but he slipped on a camel turd and came fifth. Shit flew at Random, but Random ducked and Shit hit the King in the face. "Shit!" said the King and the whole nation squatted and groaned.

Again David asked "Where's the Princess?" "Fuck the Princess" roared the King, and 69,000 royal subjects were trampled in the mad rush, for in those days the Kings' word was law. ....Kipling?

Bravo! Rod's bit is close to the way I seem to remember it from fifty years ago, when I was entertained for what must have been a quarter of an hour by a schoolmate on a train. It must be fairly long, therefore--so I'm calling Rod's bit a bit.

There is another classic like this that I have looked for in the past you you gentlemen may have heard. I heard it around a campfire on the Tatshenshini River about 10 years ago, 7 nights out, in the dark of a Yukon northern sky, after a bottle of red wine and some Robert Service poems. It was a version of the Shooting of Dan McGrew that ends:

"And there on the floor with his arse**** tore, Lay Dangerous Dan McGrew.

Likely too obscene to post here but it could be sent to me if anyone has collected it.

Along the same line was, "Verily, verily the Lord said unto Moses, come forth, but Moses came fifth, forwhich the Children of Israel threw camel turds at him, for in those days BS was not known." This is an old classic that goes for several minutes....not music but verse.

Subject: Add:'Twas a dark night
From: Snuffy

Here's a recitation I learned in the 60's which seems to meet the Daniel one tangentially at several points, but is nevertheless quite different in origin:

'Twas a dark night
A stormy night
A night of shit.
The ship was tossing on the ocean
And likewise the crew in their bunks.
But the bosun (cunning fucker)
Took the ship's only longboat
And rowed to the nearest island
Where they were holding the Feast of the Festering Foreskin
Into the ring jumped the King
Whosoever shall bring forth the longest penis
Shall have tea with my daughter
Not Typhoo Tea
Not Mazawattee Tea
But C-U-N-T
Into the ring jumped the Witch Doctor
And brought forth twelve and three quarter inches of penis
On which he proceeded to balance
Two occasional tables
Three mahagonay armchairs
Four packets of Woodbines
(The only brand sold on the island)
And a bar of soap to keep the party clean
But the bosun (cunning fucker)
Brought forth fourteen and three quarter inches of penis
On which he proceeded to balance
Four occasional tables
Five mahagonay armchairs
Six packets of Woodbines
(The only brand sold on the island)
And a bar of soap to keep the party clean
"Shit" said the King
And forty thousand loyal arseholes heaved and strained with all their majestic might
(For it was death to disobey a royal command)
"Stop" said the Queen
And forty thousand long, black, coiled, spirally turds hung in mid-suspension
(For it was death to disobey a royal command)
"Fuck Me" said the Princess
And sixty thousand chickens and one mangy dog were killed in the rush
And the bosun (cunning fucker)
Lay with her for forty days and forty nights
And on the fortieth day she came to him and said
"I bear thee a son
What steps shalt thou take?"
"Bloody great big ones across the desert"
And he came unto the valley of the shadow of death
And he said "Let there be light"
And there was light
And you could see for fucking miles
And he fell among thieves
But these were not ordinary thieves
For unlike ordinary thieves
The ragged him
Shagged him
Fucked him
De-bagged him
And sent him away with a sore arse
In the street of a thousand arseholes
At the sign of the Swinging Tit
Lived a beautiful Chinese maiden
By the name of Hu Flung Shit

Here my memory fails, but there was a lot more

Wassail! V

There's holes in the buckets,

One each that is

The barmaids wear black stockings.

    Ed Cray

    cray@mizar.usc.edu
Here is the most complete version I can find, from http://ingeb.org/Lieder/thenight.html
    THE NIGHT OF THE KING'S CASTRATION

    "This deluxe conflation, of the 100 year-old tale, by J. Mark Sugars & Frank."

    'Twas the Night of the King's Castration: the last of the Royal Balls was coming off. All the counts, discounts and no-'ccounts were sitting around the throne room slinging camel-shit, for in those days, bullshit was as yet unknown.

    A noise was heard in the courtyard and in came Daniel on his gallant white steed, with his balls slung over his shoulder. "What ho!" cried the King. "Ass-hole!" replied Daniel, thus scoring an early point for the common people.

    At this, the Queen dashed madly through the court with her drawers at half-mast, and her ass shining like a looking glass in the moonlight.

    Hilarious now, the King offered Daniel the post of second-in-command. "But what of the Queen?" asked Daniel. "Oh, fuck the Queen!" replied the King, and 50,000 loyal courtiers were killed in the rush, for in those days the King's word was law, and the King ruled with an iron hand.

    Upon seeing such mass slaughter, the King in exasperation exclaimed, "Oh, shit!" and all 50,000 remaining loyal courtiers dropped their drawers and squatted on their haunches and strained and grunted in unison, for in those days the King's word was law and the King ruled with an iron hand.

    "Stop!" cried the Queen, thinking of the royal carpet. The King called "Halt!" and 49,999 loyal butt-holes snapped shut with a stately click, and 49,999 glistening turds were nipped, gently steaming in the morning air, all save for that of Daniel, who proceeded to lay one two cubits wide by one cubit high by three cubits long.

    The King was sore affronted, and ordered Daniel thrown into the lions' den for three days and three nights, for in those days the King's word was law and the King ruled with an iron hand.

    And here was Daniel, in the midst of all those roaring, snarling beasts --- but of course, you could easily recognize Daniel by the large green parasol that he always carried.

    On the first day, the Queen came unto Daniel and Daniel said, "Oh Queen, I am in need of some tea!" and the Queen asked, "What manner of tea?" David replied, "C-U-N-T!" And the Queen departed.

    On the second day the Queen came unto Daniel and Daniel said, "Oh Queen, I am in need of some pills!" and the Queen asked, "What manner of pills?" Daniel replied, "NIP-PILLS!" And the Queen departed.

    Again on the third day, the King came unto Daniel, but it had come to pass that on the morning of the third day, Daniel had shat a great shit, and the lions were sore affronted. Almost all of them had thenceforth kept their distance from Daniel. But one of the lions took a liking to Daniel's left nut, and began to munch upon it. "Oh, it tickles, it tickles!" cried Daniel. "What tickles?" asked the King. "TES-TICKLES!" roared Daniel, thereby scoring another point for the common people. Upon hearing this, all the ladies in the courtyard took out their tits and tittered.

    Then the lion crouched as if to spring, but instead laid a big turd. This amused the King, and he ordered Daniel to come forth, but Daniel slipped on the lion's turd and came fifth, thus utterly losing the race. This angered Daniel so greatly that he picked up the lion turd and, with menacing accuracy, hurled it at random. Random, being a crafty little bugger, ducked, and the turd hit the King full in the eye.

    Now, this made the King exceedingly angry, whereupon he inquired, "Where's the Queen?" "Milord, she is on the Royal Crapper." "And is she well-supplied with paper?" "Milord, she has forty reams of the finest linen." "It is good," said the King. "And where's the Princess?" "Oh, she's upstairs in bed with laryngitis." "Not that fucking Greek again!" cried Daniel.

    This amused the King and he spake, "Oh, fuck the Princess!" and another 40,000 loyal courtiers were trampled to death in the rush, for in those days the King's word was law, and the King ruled with an iron hand, and besides, the Princess was a comely wench. This made the King exceeding angry, but the Queen only said, "Well, I'll be fucked!" --- more in hope than in indignation. But nobody moved, save a solitary senile seneschal, quietly masturbating in a corner into a silver teaspoon, and Daniel, who, taking her at her word, grabbed the Queen by her butt-cheeks and slipped her onto his dick like a well-worn jackboot.

    Later in the evening the King entered the Royal Boudoir and beheld the Queen lying on the bed, clad only in Nature's attire. "Roll over, Queen!" ordered the King. "I'll be fucked if I will!" shouted the Queen. "You will at that," observed the King, "but you'll be corn-holed if you won't!" Hearing this, the Queen shat a gold brick, for in those days a square ass-hole was a symbol of royalty.

    When the King saw this, he cried, "Balls!" not because he had to, but because he had two. And the Queen replied, "Balls? If I had two, I could be King!"

    Whereupon the King, having partaken of over-ripe olives, hied himself to the innermost part of his kingdom and proceeded to shit buttermilk for three days, and thereafter was forever known as King Dairy-Ass, throughout the world.

    Blaming Daniel for his digestive discomfort the King sentenced Daniel to wander in the wilderness for forty days and forty nights, for in those days the King's word was law and the King ruled with an iron hand.

    And so it came to pass that Daniel wandered in the wilderness for many a long day and many a long night. But in the evening of his thirteenth day in the wilderness, Daniel was set upon by bandits! Not, as you might at first surmise, ordinary bandits, but Mexican bandits. Nor, as you might at second surmise, ordinary Mexican bandits, but Mexican bum-bandits, who debagged him, scragged him, and shagged him, and left him with his pockets jingling, and his ass-hole tingling.

    Months went by before the Queen came unto Daniel. "Oh Daniel, I am heavy with child. What steps are to be taken?" "Fuckin' big ones!" replied Daniel as he vanished over the Southern horizon.

I previously posted a link to Llewtrah's bawdy ballad site, which contains several versions of this monologue, mostly shorter but which do contain some other elements.

I myself remember a fourth day, when Daniel was asked how is it?
It aches said Daniel
What aches said the Queen (or whoever it was in that version)
Boll-aches said Daniel

Does anyone have any history? I remember it from school in the 1950's, but it must quite old, judging from the variations of the text.

I was told that "The Night of the King's Castration" was composed by the "ladies" of the University of Chicago law school, in response to a challenge by the men that they couldn't come up with anything really obscene.
My sister attended the University of Chicago, though she went to law school at Illinois Institute of Technology. But she doesn't know if the immortal words came from the U of C.
Sophonisba P. Breckenridge, one of the first women on the faculty of the University of Chicago said, "It's what's between a person's ears that counts, not what's between her legs." And that I'm sure of.

You don't have to be Jewish: In the Methodist milieu of some of my ancestors, the saying was, "Yes, and if my aunt had balls, she'd be my uncle". Likewise the Russians respond to iffy statements with a rhyme that translates to "If it weren't for if & but, I'd have been a general a long time ago".

It is forbidden to touch the barmaids' delicate dresses / They are made of cellophane

I have heard this before somewhere but rather than regarding Daniel it was about Isaac the court jester.Like everyone else i cant remember it all...

While walking in the wilderness one day Isaac came up on a fair maiden, who, indignantly cleaned herself and waltzed off.

Twas in this same wilderness isaac was set upon by bandits from the east. Bum bandits be they! Isaac was shagged ragged and debagged, being left sore and tore.

UPon walking in this same wilderness 9 mopnths later he came upon the same fair maidnen..twice.. sideways! The fair maiden said to Isaac " i am with your child dear isaac, what steps will you take? "fucking great big ones back to the castle" said isaac.

Meanwhile, back at the castle shit was being flung at random. Now random, being a sly bastard ducked and the shit hit the queen. "Well fuck me!" said the queen and 50 000 men were killed in the rush. All except the butler who was dipping his dick in yellow dessert. When asked to comment on the days' proceedings the butler replied "I'm fucking dis custard"...

(hope it helps or reminds someone of another verse. (anyone else heard of isaac the court jester?)

When the aliens arrived, we were unready.
   We were just sitting around the dinner table, mindlessly chattering when the knock came. With a welcoming smile, Grandpa went to the door, swung it open, and was instantly vaporized. Horrified, we watched our grandfather's ashes slowly settle to the floor. The door creaked shut.
   "Aliens!" Grandma whispered, looking at each of us in turn.
   A few moments of silence followed. And then, another knock.
   This time Grandma grabbed her dead husband's shotgun, signaled everyone of her intent, and crept quietly to the door. Her jaw was set and the kind eternal light had left her pale blue eyes; I saw the wild look of the vengeful she-wolf bent on protecting her cubs.
   Grandma suddenly flung the door open and I saw her quickly blast away with both rounds from the over-and under.
   When the smoke cleared, we all stood there in silence... looking down at the twisted and bloody body of Harold Schmidt, the mailman, his bag of letters scattered across the walkway and a C.O.D. parcel lying inches from his twitching fingers.
   "Who would've thought?" Grandma's voice said with a quiver. "Harold Schmidt!... a fucking alien!"

This is hilarious. I remember parts of this from Illinois Institute of Technology in the early 70s. In the version heard, about Dightheria, the king said, "What that f**king Greek is hear again." and Diphtheria had a line.

At some point the King said, "F**k the Queen." and it ended with, "and 50,000 peasants were crushed in the rush to f**k the Queen, for in those days the King's word was law."

Suddenly a lion grabbed Daniel by the left ball, " it tickles ,"said Daniel." "What tickles?" said the King. " Testicles," said Daniel, thereby scoring points for the common man.
" Roll over, " said the King. " I'll be fucked if I will", said the Queen. " You'll be corn-holed if you don't" said the King, thereby scoring points for the nobility.

Jim Dixon's post above contains most of the lines I recall of this epic (and many I don't), which I first heard around 1960, in Melbourne. But where his version has

"This made the King exceeding angry, but the Queen only said, "Well, I'll be fucked!" --- more in hope than in indignation. But nobody moved, save a solitary senile seneschal, quietly masturbating in a corner into a silver teaspoon, and Daniel, who, taking her at her word, grabbed the Queen by her butt-cheeks and slipped her onto his dick like a well-worn jackboot."

I recall
""This made the King exceeding angry, but the Queen only said, "Well, I'll be fucked!" --- more in hope than in indignation. But nobody moved, save the Duke who, being a man of action and very few words, grabbed the Queen by the cheeks of her arse and drew her onto his dick like a wet Wellington boot."

I also recall most of the variations mentioned above of "They've torn down the pub!" from the same era and circumstances. I suspect the considerable variation in these epics (and others, such as "The bastard from the bush" is due to the fact that they were all orally tranmitted (now, there's an image) and aurally constructed, rather than written down.

Kel Watkins did a project about 20 years ago on what he called 'photocopied folklore'. I seem to recall that such items as "The sex life of an electron" (which was a narrative using all the technical terms used in basic electronics) displayed considerable variation when only typewriters were available to pass them on, and that this variation diminished when photocopiers came into frequent use in the 70s. Now that sources such as Jim's are now available digitally (another image to conjure with) I suspect the variation in these items will also diminish. Pity!

Shit was flying at random. Random ducked. The shit hit the King. "Shit!" said the King. And 20,000 peasants squatted and strained, for in those days, the King's word was law.

The scene shifts to the royal bedroom.

"Roll over!" said the King. "I'll be fucked if I do," said the Queen. "You'll be cornholed if you don't," said the King.

"Balls," said the Queen, and the King laughed because he had two.

"By the way," said the King, "where is the Princess?" "The Princess," said the Queen, "is out with the Duke."

"WHAT?" said the King. "You mean the Princess prefers the dirty dangling dick of the Danish duke to the purple precious penis of the Persian prince?"

"Yes," said the Queen.

"Fuck the Duke," said the King.

And 20,000 peasants were killed in the rush, for in those days, the King's word was law.

Following is the entire version I heard recited by Francis Bacon (Not the "Sir Francis Bacon" you're thinking of) on our high school band bus years ago...

T'was the night of the King's Castration and the King was giving a Ball...his left one.

The Queen had said "I want to be King too!", and so the King agreed...not because he had to, but because he had two!

But when the King said "Ball"...well, everyone did, so there was a population explosion in the land.

So the King summonned forth David, but David slipped on a lion's turd and came fifth...

"Ho!" said David.
"What Ho?" asked the King.
"Ass Ho!" replied David.
Chalk one up for the common people.

For his insolence, David was thrown into the lion's den...
As a lion crept upon him, David grabbed him by the balls.

"That tickles!" said the lion.
"What tickles?" asked David.
"Testicles!" replied the lion.
Chalk one up for the mangey beast.

Meanwhile, the knights were merrily stacking camel turds upon the round table, as bullshit had not yet been invented.

Shit flew at random. Random ducked. Shit hit the King.

"Shit!" yelled the King. And the King's word being law in those days, there was a mass movement throughout the land.

Later that night in the Royal Bedchamber, "Roll over!" said the King.
"Fu@#ed if I will!" said the Queen. "Yes, indeed! But corn holed if you don't!" said the King.

As it came out, the Queen got it in

At this the King was sore angered and did call forth his courtiers and after many days mating and mutually mass debating, they did decide beyond all doubt that 'twas Daniel who had done the dirty deed and did cast him into the Lions den..."

The next bit is much like has been posted previously but further on there was this:

"...and the King did banish Daniel to the desert and Daniel went forth and came unto the Waxy Flaxy Maiden. She, seeing him came unto Daniel and said 'Daniel, Daniel, wilt thou lie with this night?' 'Verily' said Daniel and he lay with her. In the morning, Daniel did arise and went on his way. After wandering in the desert for forty days and forty nights, Daniel came once more unto the Waxy Flaxy Maiden who, seeing him, did come unto him and said 'Daniel, Daniel, I am forty days and forty nights with child! What steps art thou going to take?' 'Bloody great big ones!' said Daniel and departed coming once more unto the city where Daniel did spy the King. Daniel took up a lump of crystalline camel turd and did cast it at the King, striking him square between the eyes. 'Shot', said Daniel. 'Shit', said the King..." and the rest you already know.

I too heard once heard the complete "Daniel" story - from a Tennessean who would have made a good Charles Dickens character if Dickens had wanted an X-rating. It was over thirty years ago.

I mention it because most of the upthread recollections seem to be from the other side of one ocean or another.

I was clever enough to write it down at the time and may still have it. If I find it, I'll post it.

And it came to pass that the king came down to the lions' den to see what manner of man cound survive there.

And Daniel Seized his turd and threw it at random. That crafty fucker Random ducked and the tyrd hit the king.

"Shut !" cries the king

"Riight first time ! "cries Daniel, and the drinks were on the King.

And the king wrought exceeeding wrath.

From: Ruth Archer

I found out last night through the wonder of Facebook that an old friend, who I have not seen in over 20 years, passed away some time ago. His name was Ivan Selwood, and he was one of the funniest people I have ever known (and bloody infuriating into the bargain). He was a raconteur of epic proportions, an utterly larger-than-life figure, and his songs and recitations were the stuff of legend in the ex-pat pubs round Hollywood. He was from England originally, and apparently returned here to live about 15 years ago. In the unlikely event that any Mudcatters ever came across him (in the Luton area, possibly), I'd love to hear from them.

I had long been looking for the source of one of his recitations, which we called The Bosun. Incredibly, when I put some of the words I could remember into google last night after learning of his death, it led me straight to Mudcat (what are the chances of that happening, eh?) and this thread, which I have noticed previously but never opened. I found that Snuffy had posted a version of The Bosun in 2001. So here, cobbled from Snuffy's post and what I can remember from over 20 years ago, is my feeble reconstruction of Ivan's version, in his memory. The bits in brackets are audience participation - everyone in the pub shouts them out.

I just know that wherever he is, he's propping up the bar, pint in one hand and a pouch of Drum tobacco in the other, telling stories and singing songs and playing that bloody awful version of Carrickfergus on the mandolin (I can hear him now: "You what? What a diabolical fucking liberty!").


The Bosun

It was the third day of the third week of the third month of 1833
When we set sail for those Goddamn Isles.
The ship was tossing on the ocean
And likewise the crew within their bunks.
But the bosun (a cunning fucker he was)
Took the ship's only longboat
And rowed to the nearest of those Goddamn Isles
Where they were holding the Feast of the Festering Foreskin

Into the ring jumped the King (a dirty sod)
The Queen (a voluptuous bitch)
And likewise the King's two beautiful daughters (SyPHEELius and GhonNOR-eea)

Whosoever shall bring forth the longest penis
Said the King (a dirty sod)
Shall have tea with my daughters (SyPHEELius and GhonNOR-eea)
Not Typhoo Tea
Not Mazawattee Tea
But C-U-N-T

Into the ring jumped the Witch Doctor
And proceeded to draw forth twelve and three quarter inches of penis
On which he proceeded to balance
Two occasional tables
Three mahagonay armchairs
Four packets of Woodbines (the ONLY brand)
And a bar of soap (just to keep the party clean).

But the bosun (a cunning fucker he was)
Strode into the ring, and titivating his penis
Between the thumb and forefinger
Of his right hand, caused that member to expand to enoooormous proportions,
Upon which he proceeded to balance
One Witch Doctor
Four occasional tables
Five mahagonay armchairs
Six packets of Woodbines (the ONLY brand)
And a bar of soap (just to keep the party clean)

"Shit" said the King (a dirty sod)
And forty thousand loyal arses heaved and strained with all their majestic might
(For it was death to disobey a royal command)

"Stop" said the Queen (a voluptuous bitch)
And forty thousand long, black, coiled, spirally turds hung in mid-suspension
(For it was death to disobey a royal command)

"Fuck Me" said the Princess
And sixty thousand chickens and one mangy dog were killed in the crush
And the bosun (a cunning fucker he was)
Lay with her for forty days and forty nights

...And that's about all I remember.



Cheers, Ivan.

And Daniel lay with the mais and came across her. Daniel woke and inquired of the mais "What time is it ?" : and the mais replied "It is five bells on the forenoon watch".   "Fuck me" said Danile, "I've done it again".

And Daniel did go unto the dockyard gates of the dockyards of Chatham and Portsmouth. And did the killick of the working party inquired of him "Daniel, where hast thou been?".

And Daniel did reply "Verily, I have been fucking".

And the killick of the working party did say "If thou hast been fucking Verily, produce thine organ".

And Daniel drew from his britches a dick the pride of the Navy, the sight of which caused the mainbrace to be spliced, a great cheer to rise from the assembled ships and a rally on the bosun's pipe.

"Squeeze, Daniel, squeeze" quoth the killick of the working party.

So he squeezed and he squoze and a bubble arose.

"Daniel" quoth the killick of the working party "Thou has contracted a disease, no ordinary disease but a social disease. Therefore must thou sojourne in the desert for forty days and forty nights".

And so it came to pass that Daniel did unto the desert go. And there he was set upon by bandits, no ordinary banditd, but arse bandits who scragged him, debagged him and shagged him, and sent him on his way rejoicing, with his pockets jingling and his arsehole tingling.

This is the best I can remember of 'The Death of the 69,000'. I was in Turkey in 1962 when I came across it. There are many good things to be said for growing old (retiring and grandkids for instance), but memory is probably not one of them.



It was the night of the King's castration. He was given a ball, his left one.

All the counts, no-accounts and discounts were sitting around flinging camel turds, for bullshit was unheard of in those days.

Out strode the King in his diamond-studded jockey strap as turds were being flung at Random. But Random ducked and a turd hit the King full in the face.

"Shit", cried the King. And the whole nation squatted and groaned.

"Balls", cried the Queen for if I had two I'd become king".

The King laughed not because he wanted to, but because he didn't have two.

The King cried, "David come forth".

But David slipped on a camel turd and came in fifth.

"Whoa", cried David.

"What whoa", cried the King.

"Asshole", cried David. And scored one up for the common people.

Then David he say, "Where's the Queen?"

The King he say, "She's in bed with diphtheria".

David he say, "What, that Greek bastards back again?"

For this David was thrown in the lions den.

He grabbed the lion by the left nut.

The lion he say "That tickles".

David he say "What tickles".

The lion he say, "Testicles". And scored one up for the mangy beast.

Up his release from the lion's den again David he say, "Where's the Queen?"

The King he say, "Fuck the Queen".

And 69,000 were killed in the mad rush for in those days the King's word was the law.

"Let there be light" said Daniel, and you could see for fucking miles. Then Daniel went out of the land of Mesopotamia and he came upon the woman with whom he had lain and she said "Daniel, I am heavy with child, what steps are you going to take?"

This is a better version I think.

Daniel


In the beginning the Lord said, "Let there be light!" and there was light. You could see for bloody miles.

The Lord said, "Let there be rain!" and there was rain. It fair pissed down.

Now this was in the days of good King Anus, before the castration of Abercock, whenst Daniel wrote "Shit" upon the king's shield. Now in those far-off days it was no mean feat to write "shit" upon the king's shield.
So the king had Daniel cast into a den of ferocious lions. Whereupon Daniel shat a shit 40 cubits high by 40 cubits wide.
The king soon heard of this and said "What manner of man is this, who can shit a shit 40 cubits high by 40 cubits wide?"
The king commanded Daniel to come forth. Daniel slipped on a petrified lion's turd, came fifth and was disqualified. Picking up this fucking great turd, he flung it at the king.
"Shit!" Cried the king.
"Right first time" cried Daniel, "Drinks on the king!".
"Shit!" Cried the king again. 10,000 arseholes strained to their utmost for in those far-off days the king's word was law.
"Fuck me!" cried the queen.
"Fuck yourself" cried Daniel and threw her a candle.
"Fuck me!" cried the queen again. No one stirred but the lowest shit-shoveller in all the land who came forth prick in hand and drew her on like a worn out Russian boot.
"Fuck me!" cried the princess. 10 strong men were killed in the rush.
"Fuck me!" cried the princess again. Daniel came forth throwing his left ball over his right shoulder and his right ball over his left shoulder saying, "Bring me my brass-bound buggery box. Bring me my copper-bound copulating canister. Bring me my potassium plated penis puller. Bring me my tungsten- tipped twat twitching tweezers."
It was about this time 10 ten vestal virgins came riding in on their menstrual cycles, singing the top pop tune of the week, "When Tools Rush In" It was at this time Goliath also did come down out of the mountains and taking one of these vestal virgins, he slept with her for 40 days and 40 nights upon the synagogue steps.
And after this time had passed she said to Goliath, "Goliath, Goliath, thou hast made me pregnant. What steps are thoust going to take?"
"Bloody great long ones," said Goliath and disappeared into the mountains never to be seen again.

"The winner was an old vizier who had been w**kig in the corner for 50 years. He pulled apart the lips of her c**t and pulled it on like a well-oiled sea-boot."

There was also some crystalline camel dung involved.

My roommate freshman year in college would say "Balls said the Queen. If I had'em, I'd be King. The King laughed, not because he wanted to, but because he had t(w)o."

We took up the line when we played cards (usually Bridge or Oh Hell): if you beat your opponent's high card it was "Not because I had to, but because I wanted to." If you dropped a winner on your partner's winner it was "Not because I wanted to, but because I had to."

Same roomie also was fond of telling us about a great double feature: "The first one is 'The King's Hand." You had to ask "Ok. What's it playing with?" "'The Queen's Ass'" came the reply.

And it just so happened there was a department store chain called 2 Guys near the school, so this double feature played at the Four Ball Theater, which was located down 18 just below 2 Guys.

And God said unto Ahab "Go forth into t'desert." And Ahab went forth into t'desert. And whilst in t'desert, flaxen-haired maiden come unto Ahab and said "Wilt thou tarry with me here ?" And Ahab said "Yea, I will." And it came to pass that he tarried for forty days and forty nights. And on t'forty-first day, flaxen-haired maiden come unto Ahab and said "Lo, I am great with child. What steps wilt thou take ?" and Ahab said "Bloody great big ones !" and buggered off into t'desert.

There are really some great lines among all these posts - I think I shall attempt soon to use bits and pieces from each to produce a Final Copy!

My version which goes back to my West Country Rugby days, sadly many years ago - goes like this more or less

And down from the hills came Ahab, son of Ehab of the later Arabibab.
And he fell among thieves, not ordinary thieves, but arsehole thieves, who regged him , debagged him and nigh on shagged him and sent him on his way rejiocing - YEH but with a sore arse.

And he came upon a well, and the maid of the well said "tarryeth" and he tarried 40 days and 40 nights and on the 40th night the maid said " I bear thee a child, what steps wilt thou take?"

A fucking great big ine right across the desert and so it came tio pass he came upon a city wherein there dwelt a virgin queen.

"Shit" cried the Queen and 40000 arseholes turned towards Mecca.

"Fuck Me" cried the queen.

No-one stirred save an old man tooling in the corner who slipped it in like a well-worn sea boot.

And Daniel was cast into the lion's den where he shat a great shite, and the lion's, murmering among themselves said "what manner of man is this that shitteth such a great shite?"

So Daniel took a turd measuring 30 cubits by 40 cubits and did smite the King on the left knacker.Shot murmered Daniel, Shit said the King, Fuck Me Cried the queen.

At this point 10,000 courtiers were killed in the rush for in those days it was death to defy the queen

Fuck Me cried the duchess, more in hope than in anger, and fourty thousand of the kings cavalry were killed in the rush. All that is except Daniel, who crept over the dead and around the wounded and slipped on like a well worn wellington boot.

Act 1 Enter Daniel
Daniel may be clearly distinguished by the large penis which he carries loosely in his left hand.
Further on
Daniel rolled back a greasy foreskin to expose two bent and rusted six inch nails a six inch shifter (shifting spanner) and a small field mouse.
Daniel, throwing his left ball over his right shoulder and his right ball over his left shoulder, which in those days was no mean feat, strode from the arena.

Immediately ten thousand loyal subjects proceeded to drop trou' and groan.

Random to King: "Where's the Queen?"

King to Random: "Upstairs in bed with Syphilis."

Random to King: "Oh, so that Greek fucker is back in town."

For this, Random was thrown to the lions, but Random being the fast fucker that he was, grabbed the lion by the left nut, threw it over his right shoulder, and proceeded to fuck the life out of it.

Random to King: "Where's the Queen?"

King to Random: "Fuck the Queen!"

Immediately, ten thousand royal subjects proceeded to the Royal Bedchamber to fuck the Queen, but Random, being the fast fucker that he was, got there first.

The word 'testicles'was spoken three times this morning on the Radio Scotland news programme...something about a football player having been disciplined for grabbing another player's balls i mean testicles....which is apparently on a par with gouging their eyes.
I did find this news item remarkable for the 8-9am slot (not a pun) and wondered if i had been half asleep, maybe dreamt it?
Can anyone vonfirm...Akhenaton maybe?

I remember a bit about Daniel in the lion's den. Excuse me if it has been previously mentioned
And Daniel was thrown into the lions den and was greatly afeared. He shat a turd 4 cubits wide by 10 cubits long -and the lions were afeared.

About 40 years ago, I remember a similar story passed around school in the North of England on a piece of paper titled "Daniel and the Golden Pisspot"

Like others here, this witty line stuck in my mind and I was hoping to find the rest of it:

"Oh shit!" said the King, and a hundred thousand arses heaved and strained

Amazing how different versions of this story have evolved and morphed as it mutates with every telling and with every generation - similar to DNA forensics, it may be possible to trace a common ancestor if enough dated samples could be found.

I remember this classic ode, or part of it, from the early 60's in the UK. One line was "The king is not coming said the queen as she stirred her tea with her other hand."

Early '60s, UK.
......
And Daniel shat a turd 40 cubits long and ten cubits high.
"Shite" said the King, and a thousand arsholes strained in the noonday sun, for in those days the kings word was law and it was death to disobey the king.
"Fuck me pink" cried the Queen, and ten thousand courtiers were killed in the rush, for the Queen's word was law and the Queen ruled with an iron hand.
.....
Nor, as you might at second surmise, ordinary bandits, but Mexican bum-bandits, who debagged him, scragged him, and shagged him, and left him with his pockets jingling, and his arse-hole a-tingling. But Daniel was happy.
......
I'm unsure of the sequence of some of the rest of the text, but
generally as "The night of the King's Castration"

Many lines in common with ' The Eve of Revolution'

Twas the Eve of Revolution and a Night of Prostitution,
'Shit' cried the King - 40,000 arseholes strained at his command'
'Fuck Me' cried the Queen - there was a rush to her command.
'Fuck me' cried the Duchess, hopefully - but no-one answered her plaintive cry except Daniel who was quietly (????) in a corner, who fucked her with a well worn boot. etc etc

Shock cried the crowd
No, shit cried the king and 40,000 arse holes strained
Fuck me cried the queen
and thousands were killed in the rush
Fuck me cried the dutchess
And nobody moved except an old sea dog who mistook her for an old sea bone.

This has been hilarious. I wish someone with nothing better to do could bring together all the best parts and pieces and make what us potentially the funniest story ever.

I heard a similar story from an old stockman in New South Wales - truly 'Back-o-Bourke' more than 50 years ago that began:

Hear the tale of Nabob, son of Paybob, absolutely no fucking relation to Twobob.

He was on his way unto Jerusalem when he was set upon by bandits.
But these were not ordinary bandits, they were arse bandits,
Who ragged, bagged and shagged him and left him with his arsehole tingling and his pockets jingling.

When he came unto Jerusalem he went unto the apothecary who said "Squeeze," and he squoze and lo and behold, a dirty great yellow bubble arose.
"Thou art rotten, rotten, rotten to the core. Cast thyself away for forty days and forty nights."
So he cast himself away for forty days and forty nights, but he was not alone, there were thousands of the bastards, all rotten, rotten, rotten to the core.

This is all I remember of a 20 minute recitation. I wish I could find the rest of it.

There was another dirty ditty I had heard in my youth which I regret not keeping a copy of... maybe the little I remember might stir some memories...

Nell was the best the west could produce,
there wasn't a man who could fuck her down,

and it ended:

Though she's dead, she's not forgotten,
We dig her up and fuck her often!

''Twas in the seventeenth year of the circumcision of the camel
And Daniel was making his way across the desert
When he was set about by bandits, not ordinary bandits
But arse bandit, who ragged, him shagged him and left him for dead

But Daniel being of a strong constipation, pricked himself up
Dusted himself off and made for the Kings camp
When he got there he did shite upon the kings shield
In the morning when the King awoke and saw this
He did say "why hast thou shite on my shield Daniel"

But Daniel being a bit deaf at that time of the morning replied "what"
SHITE shouted the King
and forty thousand nut brown arseholes strained in the morning sun
"To the lions den with him" shouted the king as the guards dug him out
And Daniel was cast into the lions den but the lion ignored him

On the first day of his imprisonments the King did come and shite upon him
On the fourth day the Kings daughter did come unto Daniel
She said"Daniel I am with child, what steps are you going to take"
Fucking big ones said Daniel fishing past her and out into the desert

Daniel made his way to the mountains and shat a shite a cubit square
And hurled it at the King
On his return to court he was greeted by a great cry
Fuck me said the queen and the Duke stepped forward
and pulled her on like A well oiled sea boot
Fuck me cried the Duchess and not a soul stirred except the fooL behind the curtains
Fuck me cried the Princess and forty thousand were killed in the rush

That is how I remember it from the sixties

This was told to me by a Liverpudlian ex-matelot:

It came to pass on the second Sunday of the soap and tobacco issue, Nabob the son of Pabob was making his way from Cosham to Portsmouth with the mess savings. He was rudely fell upon by thieves and vagabonds. He was ragged, bagged and shagged, hobnobbed and bobbed, and sent on his way rejoicing. Here endeth the first lesson.

The next morning he came aboard, adrift as usual. He was taken before the commander, who says unto him, “Jack, you have sinned, place thyself before the table”, which Jack did. He says, “Jack, cast thyself into the wilderness and die”. Jack cast himself into the wilderness and died, and thousands died with him, cos he was crab infested.

In the Australian Navy sometime between 1966 and 1973 I heard various versions of the Daniel/King story, all similar to what has been written before on this site.
There is one ditty which was related to me which I wrote down in around 1967 or 68.
Some of the terms are British/Australian Navy which I will try to explain in brackets.
The First Lesson Of Jack.
And it came to pass that on the third day after mismusters (where those that missed pay day or an issue of something, gathered)for rum and tickler (a hairy ring attached to the penis to please ladies)issue, that Nabob, son of Paybob (The Supply Officer), not worth two bob, known as Jack for short but not for long, set out for the town of Jerusalem to find himself a woman with whom he might lay. On his way he passed near the town of Nazareth where he was espied by a woman drawing water from the well. Where goest thou sayeth the woman. I go to Jerusalem to find myself a woman with whom I might lay. Are not the women of Nazerath more beautiful than the women of Jerusalem sayeth the woman. Verily it is so sayeth Jack. I may tarry. So Jack tarried. As a matter of fact Jack tarried too fucking long and next morning he awoke to find the woman about her work. What beith the time quoth Jack. It wants but a little of 8 bells sayeth the woman. Gor fuck me dead sayeth Jack, 8 fuckin' bells late again and headed back to his ship. Alas, he was set upon by slanty eyes and jauntyites (Naval Police)and thrown into the lowest of dungeons, yea, even lower that that. Next morning he arose to face an assembly of the elders known commonly as Commanders Table. The Jimmy (first Lieutenant)sayeth unto Jack where were thou last night and Jack replied I lay with a woman all night. The Jimmy sayeth Jack squeeze so Jack squoze and low and behold a green bubble arose and the Jimmy sayeth unto Jack Thou art of the Rotten (VD)and must journey to the wilderness for 40 days and 40 nights. Alas, on his way to the wilderness Jack was set upon by bandits, not just ordinary bandits but arse bandits. They ragged him, bagged him, scragged him and shagged him. Then, after drawing lots for his Burberry (a Sailors great coat)they sent him on his way rejoicing with pockets jingling and rectum tingling. After serving his 40 days and 40 night in the wilderness Jack headed back to his ship. On his way he once again passed near the town of Nazareth where he was espied by the woman with who he had so recently laid. Jack, I beareth your child, what steps art thou taking. Bloody big long ones sayeth Jack and bolted back to his ship. So endeth the lesson.
Cheers

When I was at school in the 60s I heard the story with a much longer build up to the point where Daniel appeared, hardly any of which I can remember but it started:

In the beginning God said "Let there be light!" and there was light, and you could see for fucking miles.

Here is more or less how I learned it in 1968 from another "Junior Ranger" at a camp near Quetico Provincial Park / Atikokan, Ontario, Canada.

Twas the day of the king's castration, and Daniel, along with 40,000 knights, counts, viscounts, recounts, discounts and even some poor bastards who couldn't count were all seated round the square table shooting camel dung as bullshit was out of style.
Enter the king in his diamond-studded jockstrap.
"Ho!" said Daniel.
"What ho!" said the king.
"Ass ho," said Daniel. "By the way, where's the fairy princess?"
"Oh, she's in bed with lumbago."
"Is that dirty bastard back in town?"
For insolence, Daniel was thrown to the lions. Daniel grabbed the first lion by the tail and swung him around. Shit flew at random. Random ducked. Shit at the king.
"Shit!" said the king. And, the king's word being law, the halls reverberated with the sound of 40,000 pairs of iron pants falling to the floor simultaneously and 40,000 asses straining to obey. There was also a mass movement throughout the land.
Daniel grabbed the second lion by the balls.
"Tickles!" said the lion.
"Tickles?" said Daniel.
"Testicles!" said the lion.
"Balls!" cried the queen.
The king laughed. He had two.
