Not a song that I have heard myself but I regularly get asked if I know/have heard of it. Can anyone help with lyrics/tune?...The mind boggles!

I can't find the lyrics but they were Bernard Wrigly songs (3 of them).

I know somebody who sings the one where husband comes home, the guy she was with higes in the wardrobe but leaves something sticking out that she tells her husband were bells... and can probably get that next week if nobody turns anything else up.

Also, I seem to remember in the dim and distant past one about Nellie meeting a Frenchman and inviting him back for a 69'er.

On Bernard Wrigley's website, I found that "Knocking Nelly and the Sixty Niner" is on his album Songs, Stories, & Elephants.

I'll pass most of the thanks on to Jon, since he pointed me in the right direction. Glad we could help, Chris.
