Someone posted this excellent parody on some thread or other in the last few days. Damned if we can remember which thread or who posted it. Now we want the lyrics. Anyone remember where it was?

Maybe Max hasn't indexed the Forum lately so the search won't work right, or maybe the poster didn't put ADD: Tiptoe Through the Tourists in the message title. Can anybody remember this song and where to find where it's posted? -Joe Offer- Help!!! |

12 Jul 01 - 07:21 PM (#505381) Subject: RE: SEARCH CHALLENGE!! Tiptoe Through the Tourists From: KT Hey, Bev and Jerry! How's this?? I'm just pasting this, so if it doesn't come out right, I'll try to do a blue clicky. KT TIPTOE THROUGH THE TOURISTS. (words by Donna Gibson C1992) I Tiptoe through the tourists, it's the purest kind of native glee. So come tiptoe through the tourists with me. Can't get near the beaches, that'l teach yez, to live by the sea, So come tiptoe through the tourists with me. Knee deep in traffic we'll play Don't park, they'll tow you away (extra line) I'm here to tell you that........... Summer, is a bummer, when there's nothing you can do for free, but, Tiptoe through the tourists with me. II Way back, last December, you remember, how it used to be When you tiptoed past the "Condo's" with me There was Bar room, there was Car room, and landlords rented more reasonably When you tiptoed 'cross the ice floes with me. We were so happy and gay Planning new pot holes for May (extra line)But though they....... Bore us and ignore us, we give directions cheerfully So come tiptoe through the tourists with me. Line Breaks <br> added. Thanks a lot, KT. |

Tiptoe Through the Tourists From: Gareth There used to be an old City of London game, much practised by broking staff at Lloyds called misdirect the tourist. You got maximum points for getting a bunch of Tourists on a bus marked Tower Hamlets when they wanted the Tower of London. Come to think of it, I've been drinking in the Buttermarket at Canterbury, next to the Catherderal Entrance, and not heard a word of English spoken ! Henry II, Thomas a'Beckett, you have a lot to answer for. (More for the CAT'Bury tales ??) Gareth |

13 Jul 01 - 03:52 AM (#505569) Subject: ADD: Jimmy and the Preacher (Donna Gibson) From: CRANKY YANKEE Yes children, it was written by the ever lovely scintillating, statuesque bundle of delight, to whome I've been married since 1970 (See my post to the thread, "Musicians don't date other musicians?" She writes lots of very good "Social Comment" songs, as well as just plain old songs. My Daughter, Joyce Katzberg, did two of Donna's songs in her last album, "Jimmy and the Preacher" and "Just like a Man". I've posted them both, on occasion, but don't find them in the "Digitrade" At Mika Bossom's (nee-Seeger) 50th birthday party , Her Dad (Pete) and Aunt Peggy, Donna and I sat around swapping songs for a couple of hours. Pete loved, "Jimmy and the Preacher", as anyone who knows Pete Knows that he would. and asked Donna to send him a tape of it. Which she did. Here it is. If it doesn't make it to the song data base this time, I'll quit wasting time by submitting songs. JIMMY AND THE PREACHER (words and music by Donna Gibson) C-Donna Gibson .................I......... ONCE I KNEW A PREACHER IN A CHAPPEL, WHITE AND NEAT. I ASKED HIM, "COULD YOU PRAY , AS WELL, IN THE ALLEY OR THE STREET?" HE SAID HE'D NEVER VENTURE INTO THAT DEN OF SIN. BUT IF YOU LOCK YOUR DOOR AGAINST THE DEVIL, HOW CAN THE LORD GET IN? HOW CAN THE LORD GET IN? HOW CAN THE LORD GET IN? IF YOU LOCK YOUR DOOR AGAINST THE DEVIL, HOW CAN THE LORD GET IN. ...........II....................... HE "HAD IT IN" FOR JIMMY BECAUSE JIMMY WASN'T CLEAN JIMMY WAS A DRINKING MAN BUT IT NEVER MADE HIM MEAN AND WHEN HE SANG, TO EASE THE PAIN, IT WAS A SACRED THING AND IF YOU CLOSE YOUR EARS TO THE SOUND OF EVIL YOU CAN'T HEAR THE ANGELS SING CAN'T HEAR THE ANGELS SING YOU CAN'T HEAR THE ANGELS SING IF 9YOU CLOSE YOUR EARS TO THE SOUND OF EVIL; YOUCAN'T HEAR THE ANGELS SING. ..................III............... IF YOU'D HAVE PASSED THAT CHURCH LAST SUNDAY YOU'D HAVE HEARD AN AWFULL DIN THAT PREACHER WAS DEMANDING THAT THE LORD SHOULD COME TO HIM HE STORMED THE GATES OF HEAVEN BUT THE SAVIOR WASN'T IN SINGING HARMONY WITH JIM THE SAVIOR WASN'T IN, THE SAVIOR WASN'T IN NO!! THE LORD WAS DOWN AT THE CORNER BAR SINGING HARMONY WITH JIM |
