They just don\'t write em like that anymore nb

Max: You're a pink toothbrush, I'm a blue toothbrush,
Have we met somewhere before?
You're a pink toothbrush, and I think toothbrush,
That we met by the bathroom door.

Max and Children: Glad to meet toothbrush such a sweet toothbrush,
How you thrill me through and through,
Don't be hard toothbrush on a soft toothbrush,
'Cos I can't help loving you.

Max: Every time I hear you whistle (Whistling),
It makes my nylon bristle (Whistling; ends as wolf-whistle).

Max and Children: You're a pink toothbrush, I'm a blue toothbrush,
Won't you marry me in haste?
I'll be true toothbrush just to you toothbrush,
When we both use the same toothpaste.

(Break for whistling.)

Max and Children: You're a pink toothbrush, I'm a blue toothbrush,

How you thrill me through and through,
Don't be hard toothbrush on a soft toothbrush,

Max and Children: You're a pink toothbrush, I'm a blue toothbrush,
Won't you marry me in haste?
I'll be true toothbrush just to you toothbrush,
When we both... use the same... tooth...paste.

Right, school's over! (Children cheer)

Cabin fever!!

You've been incarcerated for far too long in yer new office, time someone unlocked the door!

What does the sign on the door say, something along the lines of "Claymore, leave 10 years for full maturity"?

Or Scottish Skiffle

Fellow sophisticated musicites will also remember Does Your Chewing Gum Lose Its Flavour by Lonnie Donegan & His Skiffle Group.

Was also very boaty -

If tin whistles are made of tin
What do they make fog horns out of
Boom, boom

Re: Or Scottish Skiffle

My mum rented a house in Manchester from Lonnie Donegan in the 60's. It was furnished, and the back of the headboard in my bedroom was covered in dried chewing gum.

Re: Or Scottish Skiffle

Ok, not a chewing gum fan. Were you ever a horsey fan, if so what about Roy Rogers A Four Legged Friend

A Four Legged Friend
He'll Never Let You Down
He's Honest And Faithful Right Up To The End
That Wonderful One Two Three Four Legged Friend

A Woman's Like Cactus And Cactus Can Hurt
'Cause She's Just A Tight Waisted Winky Eyed Flirt
She'll Soon Have Your Land And Your Pride And Your Gold
And Bury You Deep Long Before You Grow Old

Gosh, some strange coincidences get dredged up on these forums - Tom's sleeping with Lonnies chewing gum is almost something that could bear being mentioned in Lonnies own biography, let alone Tom's.

If that's what people had to put up with for music, then thank God they don't write 'em like that anymore.

Re: They just don\'t write em like that anymore

There was a real craze for these 'novelty songs' back in the mid 1930's, often sung by popular comedians. At one time I had a whole load of them on 78's, but the only one I can now remember is the truely dire 'Animal Soup' (Shirley Temple).

Once Mother said "My little pet
You ought to learn your alphabet".
So in my soup I used to get
All the letters of the alphabet
I learned them all from A to Z.
And now my Mothers giving me ...

Animal crackers in my soup
Monkeys and rabbits loop the loop
Gosh oh gee but I have fun
Swallowing animals one by one.

In every bowl of soup I see
Lions and Tigers watching me
I make 'em jump right through a hoop
Those animal crackers in my soup.

When I get hold of the big bad wolf
I just push him under to drown
Then I bite him in a million bits
And I gobble him right down.

When their inside me where its dark
I walk around like Noahs Arc
I stuff my tummy like a goop
With animal crackers in my soup.

We have a long tradition of this...

<pre>On a tree by a river a little tom-tit
Sang "Willow, titwillow, titwillow!"
And I said to him, "Dicky-bird, why do you sit
Singing 'Willow, titwillow, titwillow'?"
"Is it weakness of intellect, birdie?" I cried,
"Or a rather tough worm in your little inside?"
With a shake of his poor little head, he replied,
"Oh, willow, titwillow, titwillow!"

He slapped at his chest, as he sat on that bough,
Singing "Willow, titwillow, titwillow!"
And a cold perspiration bespangled his brow,
Oh, willow, titwillow, titwillow!
He sobbed and he sighed, and a gurgle he gave,
Then he plunged himself into the billowy wave,
And an echo arose from the suicide's grave--
"Oh, willow, titwillow, titwillow!"

Now I feel just as sure as I'm sure that my name
Isn't Willow, titwillow, titwillow,
That 'twas blighted affection that made him exclaim
"Oh, willow, titwillow, titwillow!"
And if you remain callous and obdurate, I
Shall perish as he did, and you will know why,
Though I probably shall not exclaim as I die,
"Oh, willow, titwillow, titwillow!" </pre>
