Dick is looking for the lyrics to this parody. Sounds like a great song. Sort of thing that I would sing.

Someone must know it!

Bert.

I found it (are you reading, Martin?)

CAUTION: RUDE MATERIAL FOLLOWS


LONDON DERRIERE.
(W. J. Bethancourt III)

I watch you walk upon the streets of London.
Your mini-skirt stretched tight and looking sweet.
I watch you walk, and walk into a lamppost.
I didn't see, upon the London street.

So turn your back, and wiggle softly from me!
With mini-skirt, (perhaps, no underwear!).
Your legs are great! But, by the Gods above me!
I watch your wondrous London derriere!

The Paris girls are wonders full of beauty,
And California grows the Long-stemmed L.A. rose,
Berlin nights are full of life, and lovely,
But London girls don't wear no panty-hose!

So turn your back, and wiggle softly from me!
And let me watch, and dream a dream so rare:
In my hotel, you naked there above me.
Sit on my face with your London derriere!


(Tune: "Londonderry Air" aka "Danny Boy").

Thanks, Dick, it's great. I'll just have to learn that one.

Bert.

Dick, have you ever heard Pierre Bensusan's version of "The Town That I Loved So Well"? Irish English with a French accent comes out sounding like

"Zer was music zer
In ze Derrierre..."

LaMarca-- Go on. You interest me strangely.

Alas, nothing to add to that; it was a straight rendition of the song, but Bensusan's accent makes it sound a little weird, as it does in his version of "The Nightengale":

"When out of his knapsack a feeedle he drew..."

Guess this really belongs under "Misunderstood Lyrics"!

Reminds me of Howie Strauss, the Austrian Cowboy and his Leesen to der chingle, der rumble und der rower.
