Salty-Dog said:Song from the Bier Keller Plymouth circa 1974 - (I've never heard it since)
She wore, she wore, she wore a yellow ribbon
She wore a yellow ribbon in the merry month of May
and if you asked her why the hell she wore it
She wore it for a Tiffy who is far far away.
Booties had a different song but same tune - kept trying to drown each other out
Salty-Dog said:There once was a lad called Alladin
Who had a magic Lamp
He stole it off a Matelot who was fathoms up a tramp
He stole it off a Matelot to see what he could get
And he rubbbed and rubbed and rubbed and rubbed
But he ain't got F***all yet
La de da fiddle dee
60 annas equals one rupee
feed of ar8e up a sycamour tree
poor bu**er Janner
The Sultan saidf to Alladin
my palace you will paint
Alladin said to the Sultan - No I fu**in aint
So he armed himself with a paintbrush and a pot of black enamel
and he shoved it up the A**sehole of the sultan's favourite camel
And we'll all go back to Oggie land (where's that)
to Oggie land (where's that )
To Oggieland
And we'll all go back to Oggie land
Where they cant tell ???? from tissue paper tissue paper marmalade and jam
Salty-Dog said:I remember a folk night in Lotties in Gib during Spring Train - must be around 1980. Rab and Fred 'Orrible' off the London on fiddle and guitar - place was packed.
Old favourites including the Chandler's Wife, Marco Polo, Leaving of Liverpool and Ram It.

I can remember the Chandlers Wife, Mombasa in the 80's she was very accomodating, but, thats not for this thread.
"We got married on Monday, the party lasted till Sunday
But, now we're alone, are friends are all gone, Side by Side
We got ready for bed then, but, I could've dropped dead when
Her teeth and her hair she placed on the chair, Side by side
Together with her padded bra amd her glass eye so small,
She Unscrewed her wooden leg and hung it on a hook on the wall.
I lay there broken hearted coz most of me wife had departed,
So I slept in the chair there was more of her there, Side by Side"
"Nobby Hall a young OD cleaned his suit in CTC
Hungit in the mess to dry , His oppo lay asleep nearby
when the shakers voice was heard one there was who never stirred
Nobby wept fo rdays on end to think he'd killed his own best friend
The funeral was a grand affair the RNBT rep was there
So come on lads take heed of me if you clean your suit with CTC
Always take the greatest car eto hang it in the open air
Or Better Stiil if you can, Hang it by the Wardroom Fan"
"My names leadfingers plunkett and my stories seldom told
for I massacre folk music with three feet of japanes plywood and a plectrum
I do requests just the ones thats got 3 chords in, I disregard the rest
Nah, nah, nah nah nah nah nah nah.
Charging 5 pounds plus expenses I went looking for a gig,
I got no offers just the come on from a groupie down in Rowner
I must confess that I was so bloody hard up I had her there and then
Nah, nah, nah nah nah nah nah nah.
On the stage I stand a singer entertaining is my trade but I carry the reminders
Like the time in the Irish Club in Fratton when I fled in Mortal fear
with the imprint of a guinnes bottle wrapped around my ear
Nah, nah, nah nah nah nah nah nah."
After the NahNahs you can use a tray for the nahnahnah boom crash but, it hurts after a while.
Thats enough for now, but, i also do a few from a 80's folk trio from pompey called Clinkers, where are they now?

Yeah I remember that one we used to sing it all the time at Fisgard as a baby tiff in 1971.
She wore, she wore, she wore a yellow ribbon
ChiefTiff well that brought it all back from '71 & those who escaped the young ladies at Fisgard were captured in Caledonia.
Do you remember a littlle song between the Tiffs.
'West side, East side, East side shit' etc
Were you Frew or Lane?
Do you remember the Civiy Cadets from Cunard P&O etc. Wonder what they made of it & the food.......probably driving the Queen Mary II around the Oceans now.
