Hi kids, this is my first time posting so you're just going to have to
bear with me.

I am organizing a tour to the great rock of Newfoundland (that's in
Canada, by the way) for this next summer and I was hoping to come up with
some new songs for the trip. Alas, my song writing skills are not all
they used to be and I require some assistance in this endeavor.

If you have any (yes, I mean any) songs swimming around in your head,
could you please email me with details and/or lyrics. It would be much
appreciated.

My address: nmit...@uoguelph.ca

Cheers--
Nena

My god! Are you serious?
You ask rugby player to teach you some of their songs?
Have you ever heard them singing in the shower?
However, I know only french shower-songs, and they should be difficult to
translate.
Good luck!

Nena, I hope that this is suitably cultured enough for you. I'm sure that
it won't be the most cultured you receive. Anyway, a Scottish one for Nova
Scotia (or near it).

Give me an e-mail bell if you don't understand any of it.

The Highland Tinker
-------------------

To be sung to the tune of Ghost Riders in the Sky:

The mistress of the Manor
Looked out from the Hall,
and saw the Highland Tinker
Tossing off against the Wall,

CHORUS
------

With his bloody great kidney wiper
and his bollocks swinging free,
and a yard and a half of foreskin
hanging down below his knee,

HANGING DOWN, HANGING DOWN,
and a yard and a half of foreskin
hanging down below his knee,

End of Chorus
-------------

So she wrote to him a letter
and in it she did say,
I'd rather be F****d by you sir
than the squire any day,

CHORUS
------

The tinker read the letter
and he read it very well,
and his balls began to tingle
and his prick begin to swell,

CHORUS
------

So he got upon his charger
and upon it he did ride,
with his prick upon the saddle
and a bollock either side,

CHORUS
------

He rode up to the manor
and he rode into the hall,
and the butler said My God,
He's here to F*** us all,

CHORUS
------

He F***ed them in the coalhouse
He F***ed them on the stairs
Till you couldnae hear the moaning
For the swish of pubic hairs,

CHORUS
------

Now the F***ing of the butler
It really was a farce,
cos the heat of his erection
Decomposed the buggers arse,

CHORUS
------

Some say he went to heaven,
Some say he went to Hell,
Where he shagged the devil,
His wife and daughter as well.

water.

When I was a student at Staffs Poly, we went and had a game at York Uni.
The lads there sung us a brilliant song to the tune of The Grand Old Duke
of York, including using up-turned barstools as bagpipes. I couldn't
possibly remember it though. Our team responded with a pretty painful
rendition of Two Little Boys, but we also did a mean Unchained Melody when
we lost.

Most of our regular songs you probably will have heard, and they included:

The Department Store

A woman came into the store for a ruler
..A ruler from the store...
Ruler she wanted - 12 inches she got
And I don't work there no more!

There was a good one that went:

Has anybody seen JC (JC JC JC)
He's so good, he's so fine
Plays srumhalf for Palestine
Has anybody seen JC (JC JC JC)

I know the department store song and about 30 verses to it. In America
it's known as "I used to work at Chicago's in the department store..."
The other song (JC) I heard bits and pieces of when I was in college and
I've been dying to learn the rest ever since. Can you provide further
lyrics.

Best,
