31 Jan 00 - 09:32 AM (#170962) Subject: RE: Help: Playboy Playmates From: Amos Isn't this an early American ballad? As I recall, the first two lines are: Come all ye Playboy Playmates, wherever ye may be I hope you'll pay attention, and listen unto me For well ye know the shimmy, and the rassle and the blow That keeps the money coming in, in the house in Chicago When first I left my native farm, a tender miss alone I had just a pair of thirty-eights, nothing else to call my own Oh little did I understand the whacky rodeo That I soon would be embroiled among in the house in Chicago I forget the rest. I think Donovan sang it. A |

31 Jan 00 - 10:13 AM (#170988) Subject: RE: Help: Playboy Playmates From: GUEST,arkie Amos, great to remember this old ballad. We used to sing it all the time many years ago. Another old classic along the same theme is July, You're A Woman, which was revived for a time by the traditional balladeer, John Stewart. |

31 Jan 00 - 04:07 PM (#171219) Subject: RE: Help: Playboy Playmates From: Amos Chorus: Oh it's dark as a dungeon, and damp as the dew! Where the dangers are many, and the gentlemen few! For the guests are as randy as a billy goat's cub! Oh, it's dark as a dungeon in the Gentlemen's Club!
When first I did come there, a maiden so willing Chorus
They'll measure you up, and they'll calm all your fears

OK, guys, I'm watching this thread like a hawk for entry into the Mudcat Songbook . . . now, where are the verses about the 'cotton tail,' the high-heeled shoes, the little button cuffs, and the bodice that squeezes ya 'like your drunken cousin at a wedding'???? Do I need a double dog dare here?? Loving every line, Áine |

31 Jan 00 - 05:35 PM (#171274) Subject: RE: Help: Playboy Playmates From: Amos Your smile quickly fades, and your spirits do fail When first you go forth in the vile Cotton Tail In the smoke and confusion and the noise of the band! Then your cotton tail falls to a customer's hand! Cho. Oh the bodice it crimps you and gives you false airs And the high heels are murder, when climbing the stairs And the drunks are disgusting, the horny old tubs! Bad cess and farewell to the Gentlemen's Club! Chorus:
Oh it's dark as a dungeon, and damp as the dew! |

LEJ, Amos, you're little 'morality tail' (!) is now on the Mudcat Songbook, so that it can instruct all the Mudkittens on the 'proper' way to lead their lives.

01 Feb 00 - 09:02 AM (#171623) Subject: RE: Help: Playboy Playmates From: Amos Well that's jes' fine, says bug!!
In truth the first two verses were conceived to a different tune ("Virginia's Bloody Soil") while the rest was built on the meter of the labor song "Dark as a Dungeon, Way Down in The Mines". But they scan "close enough for folk music" so let them ride along. LEJ, your closing verse was a slam bang classic! I love it. |

'Cause Hughie Hefner has some purty young Playmates Though they say he's took one for his wife. You don't know which one he has chosen, 'Cause they all look purty much the same. They're all top-heavy, slim an' slender, An' they're all about one-fourth his age. |
