Have you done the thread search for "poor little angeline"? Charley Noble |

Thread search yielded bawdy parodic versions only, and Sheet Music Warehouse wants 21 bucks plus postage for a copy of the original. Some 'Catter must have them somewhere! I haven't found a solid reference to a Jack Hylton recording. |

20 Mar 04 - 01:02 PM (#1141779) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Poor Little Angeline (clean version) From: Jim Dixon POOR LITTLE ANGELINE (Will [Wilhelm] Grosz & Jimmy Kennedy, 1936) has been recorded by: Willie Lewis and His Entertainers, on "1936-1938" [1996] Slim Whitman, on "I'm a Lonely Wanderer" [1963] Joe Loss Gracie Fields Vera Lynn with Jay Wilbur and his band Roy Fox & His Band Does anybody know anything about the original clean version of this song? Especially, can anyone quote any lyrics that are NOT in the bawdy version? More info: POOR LITTLE ANGELINE is one of several songs associated with the Palais Glide, a popular dance "invented at the Hammersmith Palais, a famous London dance hall, executed in long rows with a lot of stamping and leg kicking." In a couple of instances, it has been recorded under the name "Poor Little Angeline (Palais Glide)" or "Palais Glide (Poor Little Angeline)." Click here for some pictures of some Australians performing the Palais Glide, near the middle of the page. There is a sound sample of the Willie Lewis recording of "Poor Little Angeline" at Yahoo! Shopping > Music, but he is speaking, not singing, in French. I can't understand much of the French, but my guess is, he's giving instructions on how to perform the Palais Glide. |

I wish I had been able to tape it as I would be keen to get the 'Clean' lyrics myself. The rude version was a standard in the NAAFI bar in Germany in the early sixties. |

She was sweet sixteen, little Angeline, Always dancing on the village green. As the boys passed by, you could hear them cry: "Poor little Angeline!" 2. Oh, her eyes were brown and her hair hung down, Laddered stockings and an old blue gown; But she dreamed, we're told, of a lover bold. Poor little Angeline! BRIDGE: Then one day her prince came a-riding And he stopped right by her side. Very soon she hear him confiding: "I want to make you my bride." 3. What a pretty scene on the village green When the prince was wed to Angeline! Now as his princess, she's a great success. Poor little Angeline! |

It's song #6 on that page. For the curious, there is a separate thread about the raunchy "rugby" version of POOR LITTLE ANGELINE. |

I don't know who were the artistes, but it was a dance band and a male singer. The only time I've heard it since was once when Peta Webb sang it. |

Looks like an ancestor of country line dancing. |
