20 Oct 05 - 09:43 AM (#1586935) Subject: Lyr Req: Cecil Sheridan parodies From: GUEST,Curious Clouseau Im wondering does anyone know if it is possible to get the lyrics for parodies performed by the great Irish panto star Cecil Sheridan? I heard one on a live Maureen Potter show which was a parody of "Let The Rest Of The World Go By". The lyrics are as follows: When Duffy's Circus came to town And we went there one night There was acrobats there was elephants But the clowns was our delight When the tattooed lady came on stage And her cloak was on fire She was tattooed from head to toe With pictures of the world Now right around her neck was a scene from Old Quebec Her chest as I recall was the hills of Donegal And down her spine was Palestine With the Suez Canal not far behind Singapore was round her waist I could see her naval base And I got a glimpse of Irelands Eye And then the wife said come on Joe And away I had to go And let the rest of the world go by! It's similar to another parody of the song but with an irish touch. If anyone has any other parodies of his they would be much appreciated! |

I heard the great Anna Managhan feature it many years ago in her one-woman show and the memory has stayed with me. Eamonn O Raghallaigh |

20 Apr 12 - 12:56 AM (#3340692) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Cecil Sheridan parodies From: eftifino My late dad, Noel Purcell was honoured with a Late Late Show at Xmas '73. Cecil Sheridan, Eddie Byrne and Pauline Forbes were guests, with Sean Mooney coming out of the audience to sing with Peggy Dell at the piano. Cecil did a great parody of 'My Way" . It started off with his usual intro as the henpecked husband: (Oh, the woman I have married She is driving me insane........) Well I got home in friday night, Collapsed upon the floor, while the wife was playing Bingo with the man who lived next door. The doctor came, examined me and this is what he said It's a case of Malnutrition Pretty soon you will be Dead........ And now, the end is near She's pulled the blinds and drawn the curtains she said, its very clear, your liver's shot, gone for a burton. Your policy is all paid up, and when the man comes 'round next Friday, I'll tell him Syd, a right few Quid is coming MY WAY! I know, I have to go, cos round the bed she's lit the candles. Bought my last overcoat Its polished Oak with 6 brass handles. Although I'm skin and bone, and seven stone is all that I weigh, Still it hurts, one more clean shirt, and I'm on MY WAY For what is a man, what have I got a broken nose, black eyes the lot, but in my dreams, at Heaven's Gate, I hear St. Peter say 'dont wait, the record shows, you took the blows, come on up MYYYYY WAYYYYY. Hope you like it. |

Now fourteen years of married life has made a mess of me No matter what I try to do it ends in misery Now when I climb up the bedroom stairs before I kneel to pray I take out my wife's photograph and look at and say It had to be you It had to be you I must have been sunk, elephants drunk When I married you I'm black and I'm blue from things I've been through My shirts up the spout, can't get it out all over you Last week out in Bray with Mrs McCay You got into a boat but it wouldn't float It sank in the blue Someone cried they're both drowned It gave me a thrill til somebody said one's breathing still And it had to be you, wonderful you, it had to be you. |
