Many years ago, or so the story goes, my old mate Barrie Roberts had a call from Lorna Campbell (of the Ian Campbell Folk Group) to ask if he knew the words. He recited them over the phone, but due to a combination of a bad line and hasty scrawl, when the group came to work it up, they ended up with a few mistakes. Does anyone know the correct lyrics? And can anyone tell me who wrote it? To save you looking it up, it's the one that goes To Hollywood, to Hollywood, to Hollywood I'll go And you shall know me by the name of Maryilin Monroe, And soldiers and sailors, wherever they may go, Will wish that they could have a girl like Marylin Monroe. Ta, Steve |

My mate has them in a song book. I used to sing it when busking at Hyde Park in the 60's. Wasn't it written by the guy who edited the Folk Pages in Melody Maker back then. Sadly the cells are dropping out and the memory fades, Karl ....?. I'll find out Baz |
