Shakespear was a man of wit
And on his shirt he had some ... buttons

One day whilst walking down St Pauls
A woman came and grabbed his ... hand

She said you are a man of pluck

It all depends on the size of your ... cup

(AHHH memories of 60's secondary school days when I first heard that)

I remember one that had the last word of each line as the start of the next. I can't remember all of it but it had a bit that went- ...Country girls are very pretty, they wrap their legs around your head and like to suck your
Dicky was a bulldog, lying in the grass, along came a bumblebee and stung him on the
Ask no questions, tell no lies...

[sophie_1003]

thanks Eddie! that's not the ending I remember but there's probably loads of variations, there was a bit before the section I put as well that I can't remember

[sophie_1003]

ah I see! the one I referred to had something about a fire station in if I remember correctly and the line before counrty girls... was something about a woman putting something up her... my version seems a bit ruder than yours!

took her to the station
to see the engines shunt

country girls are sweet and slick
she put her arm around me and felt

ask no questions tell no lies
ever seen a scots man doing up his
flies are a nusiance bugs are worse
this is the end of my clean country verse.

[sophie_1003]

yeah, that was similar to the ending I knew actually! think there are lots of variations on it

[buddybird]

I also remeber this which was slotted on the end of some songs sang on the school coach outings:

Shine your buttons with brasso
its only three halpence a tin
buy it or nick it from woolys though
i doubt if they'll have any in.

"what's that all about?

[magicmerlin]

A woman grabbed me by the b*lls
She said 'son, you look full of pluck
Come with me for a f*ck
It might be a tanner, it might be a bob
All depends on the size of your kn*b'
