13 Oct 15 - 09:47 PM (#3743746) Subject: Lyr Req: Parody of 'Three Coins In A Fountain' From: GUEST,Sneckie Years ago I heard an elderly woman from Glasgow singing a parody version of the Jule Styne/Sammy Caan song "Three Coins In A Fountain". It told the story of three women queuing up, waiting for a shop to open during the January sales. Each woman had her eye on the same bargain. After a fight broke out, they all ended up getting arrested and charged. I can't remember any of the words other than the final verse which ran something like this: "Three wives in a courtroom Each one hoping for a fine But the judge has decided One of them is doing time. Make it mine! Make it mine! Make it mine!" Can anyone help with the rest of the lyrics? |

Three wives in the Fountain (which is a pub in South Shields. my home town) Each one knocking back the stout There they stand in the Fountain, Too blind drunk to stagger out. Three wives in the Fountain Wondering which way they should roam There they stand in the Fountain Too blind drunk to stagger home Which one is the biggest pest? Which one will the cops arrest? Their coins they are counting Wondering who will pay the fine Only one wife will be sentenced Only one wife doing time, Make it mine Make it mine Make it mine..... |

I have been searching for this classic comedy sketch for years .., |

It was from "The Affair of the Lone Banana " "Three Goons in a fountain - which one will the fountain drown - I have got a shop full of Schmutters " |
