Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Among My Souvenirs (and parody)
Click here to hear Geoffrey Ling sing his version at Blaxhall Ship in 1973.
Out came her big glass eye Her false teeth on the sly She gently placed them down Upon the chiffonier She then unscrewed her leg And hung it on a peg And oh my eyes were filled With many a bitter tear
Her beautiful golden hair She hung upon the chair And what was left of her Slipped in between the blankets. I looked at her and said "I am not coming to bed I'd rather sleep instead Among your souvenirs"
My folk-processed version is only slightly different:
She took out her glass eye Her false teeth on the sly And gently laid them down Upon the chiffonier Her lovely wooden leg She hung upon a peg And oh my eye was filled With many a bitter tear
Her lovely golden hair She hung upon the chair And what was left of her Slipped in between the blankets. I looked at her and said "Don't think I'll come to bed I'll stay out here instead Among my souvenirs"
