04 Feb 04 - 08:37 PM (#1109623) Subject: Lyr Req: Footsteps on my dashboard upside-down From: GUEST,storch@kami.com subject is part of lyrics of a bawdy song that was making the rounds of some frat houses in the early 60's. Other snippits include "you're my one and only Venus. You do something to my --heartstrings" and "Madam, since I've met your daughter, I've had trouble passing water. . ." I would like to get all the lyrics and melody. Or even just the name and I'll try to find it on KAZAA. Many thanks |

Yes it's me who did the pushin' Left the stain upon the cushion Foot prints on the dashboard upside down Ever since I met your Venus There's been a swellin' in my penis So we're 50-50 all around. |

22 Nov 04 - 06:41 AM (#1335121) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Footsteps on my dashboard upside-down From: kendall I heard this as a joke when I was a small boy. Some travelling salesman got together with a farmer's daughter and she turned up pregnant. He wrote a note to said salesman which read: I send to you this token of the whip socket that was broken, And the footprints on the dashboard upside down; Since you left our little Nellie, she's been swelling in her belly, And I think it's about time you dropped around. And the salesman's answer: I received your little token of the whip socket that was broken And the footprints on the dashboard upside down Since I met your little Venus, I've been dripping from my penis, And I think we're 50/50 all around. As you can see, this took place in the horse and buggy days. The song probably came after the joke. |

A LETTER FROM THE POSTMASTER Anonymous Sir: I'm sending you a token Of a buggy whip that's broken And of footprints on the dash-board upside down. There are grease-spots on the cushion And there's evidence of pushin' And our daughter Venus hasn't come aroun'. The Answer: I'm the guy that done the pushin' Put the grease-spots on the cushion, Made the foot-prints on the dashboard upside down; But since I had your daughter Venus, I've had trouble with my penis, And I wish I'd never seen your God-damned town! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ It is found in the 1928 The Book of a Thousand Laughs. ~~~~ As for recordings of this bawdy ditty I know of a few: Oscar Brand on his Bawdy Songs Goes to College (ca 1958) and the Immoral Ballads CD (ca 1993). I believe that John Valby did a version but I can't find it on my website (www.immortalia.com). I have a field recording of this song as sung by Shut Your Manhole (aka Little Head). You can listen to that version here: Footprints on the Dashboard Yours, John Mehlberg ~ My, mostly traditional, bawdy songs, toasts and recitations website: www.immortalia.com |
