Sweet Violets: There once was a farmer who took a young miss To the back of the barn where he gave her a lecture on horses and chickens and eggs And told her that she had such beautiful manners that suited a girl of her charms A girl that he wanted to take in his Washing and ironing and then if she did They could get married and raise lots of Sweet violets, sweeter than the roses, Covered all over from head to toe Covered all over in sweet violets. Etc. Anyone know it? Or am I showing my age?

There are some very cringe worthy silly Aussie songs such as - Tie me Kangaroo down sport Tie me kangaroo down Tie me Kangaroo down sport Tie me kangaroo down. Tan me hide when I'm dead Fred Tan me hide when I'm dead So they tanned his hide when he died Clyde And that's it hanging on the shed Altogether now Tie me Kangaroo down etc etc (Courtesy of Rolf Harris) OR Oh it's lonesome away from your kindred and all By the campfire at night where the wild dingos call But there's nothing so lonesome, morbid or drear Than to stand in the bar of a pub wiwth no beer. I won't subject you to all the verses!!!

For Val Is this the one? Big Strong Man (My Brother Sylveste) From: Songs of Ireland words and music Traditional Have you heard about the big strong man? He lived in a caravan. Have you heard about the Jeffrey Johnson fight? Oh, Lord what a hell of a fight. You can take all of the heavyweights you’ve got. We’ve got a lad that can beat the whole lot. He used to ring bells in the belfry, Now he’s gonna fight Jack Demspey. That was my brother Sylvest’ (What’s he got?) A row of forty medals on his chest (big chest!) He killed fifty bad men in the west; he knows no rest. Think of a man, hells’ fire, don’t push, just shove, Plenty of room for you and me. He’s got an arm like a leg (a ladies’ leg!) And a punch that would sink a battleship (big ship!) It takes all of the Army and the Navy to put the wind up Sylvest’. Now, he thought he’d take a trip to Italy. He thought that he’d go by sea. He dove off the harbor in New York, And swam like a great big shark. He saw the Lusitania in distress. He put the Lusitania on his chest. He drank all of the water in the sea, And he walked all the way to Italy. He thought he take a trip to old Japan. They turned out a big brass band. You can take all of the instruments you’ve got, We got a lad that can play the whole lot. And the old church bells will ring (Hells bells!) The old church choir will sing (Hells fire!) They all turned out to say farewell to my big brother Sylvest’.

Always The Beatles for me (George mmmmmm) Off now to wtch the rest of the film (Hugh Grant!) Allie x

Me neither didnt like Elvis .......... loved The Stones,,,

Christine - I will join you - I can't stand Elvis! (runs and hides!) Allie x

Oh and how about 'Windmill in Old Amsterdam'? Max Bygraves as well! That is so annoying you just can't get rid of it! Allie x

Who wanted to know what the Elvis song where he gets a fit of the giggles? (think it was Christine or Dee?) It was 'Are You Lonesome Tonight?' He starts laughing at the backing singers! Allie x

Over bridge of sighs To rest my eyes in shades of green Under dreamin' spires To Itchycoo Park, that's where I've been What did you do there? I got high What did you feel there? Well I cried But why the tears there? I'll tell you why It's all too beautiful It's all too beautiful It's all too beautiful It's all too beautiful I feel inclined to blow my mind Get hung up feed the ducks with a bun They all come out to groove about Be niceand have fun in the sun Tell you what I'll do (what will you do?) I'd like to go there now with you You can miss out school (won't that be cool) Why go to learn the words of fools? What will we do there? We'll get high What will we touch there? We'll touch the sky But why the tears then? I'll tell you why It's all too beautiful It's all too beautiful It's all too beautiful It's all too beautiful I feel inclined to blow my mind Get hung up feed the ducks with a bun They all come out to groove about Be nice and have fun in the sun It's all too beautiful It's all too beautiful It's all too beautiful Ha! It's all too beautiful
