Notes: Oscar Brand recorded this song in the 1940s or<br>
50s. He rewrote it a bit and claims a copyright on "new words,"<br>
but its unclear how much is rewritten and how much is old... and how<br>
much has been added in between. It's one of those songs that is easy to add<br>
to. Brand's version was particularly crude... we've kept it toned down a<br>
bit.<br>
Really!<br>
Four and twenty virgins<br>
Came down from Inverness<br>
And when the ball was over<br>
There were four and twenty less. Chorus:<br>
Balls to your partner,<br>
Ass against the wall.<br>
If you cannot get ------<br>
on a Saturday night,<br>
you cannot get ----- at all<br>
The Queen was in the parlor,<br>
Eating bread and honey.<br>
The King was in the chambermaid<br>
And she was in the money.<br>
Chorus...<br>
There was doin' in the kitchen,<br>
And doin' it on the stones.<br>
Ya couldna' hear the music<br>
For the wheezin' and the groans.<br>
Chorus...<br>
The village butcher, he was there,<br>
A cleaver in his hand.<br>
And every time he turned around,<br>
He circumcised the band.<br>
Chorus...<br>
The deacon's wife, well, she was there<br>
With her butt against the wall.<br>
"Put your money on the table, boys,<br>
'Cause I'm going to do you all." Chorus...<br>
The letter carrier, he was there.<br>
The poor man had the pox.<br>
He couldn't do the ladies,<br>
So he did the letter box.<br>
Chorus...<br>
The village cripple he was there,<br>
Can you imagine that?<br>
Amusing himself by abusing himself,<br>
And catching it in his hat.<br>
Chorus...<br>
The bride was in the bedroom<br>
Talking to the groom.<br>
"The front! The front! And not the back,<br>
Is the entrance to the womb!"<br>
Chorus...<br>
When the ball was over<br>
Everyone confessed,<br>
"The dancin' was exquisite,<br>
But the doin' was the best!"<br>
Chorus...<br>
