The Songs We Sang by Les Cleveland.
Below I have typed out the complete list of unprintable songs from last pages
Les Cleveland's 1959 book The Songs We Sang.
I am most interested in the songs which I have never heard sung:
- You Can Tell Them All that we Learn ------ all.
My Old Gal Salme.
Oh My Name is Tiger Lily, I'm a Whore from Piccadily.
The Bastard from the Bush.
Isn't it a Pity She's Only One Titty.
Sister Anna Will Carry the Banner.
Of the above list, I am familiar with the text of "Bastard from the Bush" but
I don't remember seeing a tune for the song. I think that I have a text for the
"My Old Gal Salme" but I don't remember where in my collection. All of the other
songs above need texts & tunes and a confirm that they are all WWII era songs.
The following items I am familiar with but would like to confirm the tune &
texts used and make certain that they were all sung during WWII:
- The Red Plush Britches. (Tune?, Text?, WWII?)
For They were Large Balls. (Tune?, Text?, WWII?)
The Balls of O'Leary. (WWII?)
The Old Red Flannel Drawers. (Tune? Text?, WWII?)
If I Was a Rugby Fullback. (Why RUGBY?, WWII?)
I Love My Wife, I Love Her Dearly. (WWII?)
A Drunken Old Harlot Lay Dying. (Tune?, Text?, WWII?)
I Wish I Was a Fascinating Bitch. (Need tune!)
