'The Bird in Ethel's Hat'

Does anyone have the words of the monolgue/poem, 'The Bird in Ethel's Hat'?

No, and intensive searching has failed to find it - is that definitely the title? It may be worth contacting Paul Wilkinson at Poems and Monologues, http://www.monologues.co.uk/index.html He may either know it, or suggest where to start looking.

Perhaps you are looking for "the Bird on Nellie's Hat". It is a song by Arthur J Lamb & Alfred Solman. I have it in a gay nineties book.  It is the story of a girl leading  a man on until he gives her a ring, then refusing to marry or even give back his ring. Each chorus ends with  "said the saucy little bird on Nellie's hat"
