Things my Daughter Taught me

Sally—
I'm a maiden sweet and pure,
And in spite of my allure,
When a guy decides to try I cry 'No, no!'
'Cause I remember all the things my daughter taught me,
And believe me honey . . . Fanny ought to know!

O I don't believe in sin;
I take water with my gin;
When they pass the whiskey flask I cry 'No, no!'
Cause I remember, etc . . .

When a Texas oil magnate,
Comes to ask me for a date,
If the bore begins to paw, I cry 'No, no!'
Cause I remember, etc . . .

When a Boston millionaire
Runs his fingers through my hair
If the cash begins to pash I cry 'No, no!'
Cause I remember, etc . . .

When a noble English peer
Starts to whisper in my ear,
If Debrett begins to pet I cry 'No, no!'
Cause I remember all, etc . . .

When a Yankee from up in Maine
Tries to ruin my good name,
To this Yankee hanky panky I cry No, no!
Cause I remember all, etc . . .

Party Solidarity

Wol—
Down by Parl - i - ment,
Where I first met you,
Waving Bloomers new
Or a reddish hue,
It was there I knew
That you loved me true,
Some sixteen stone,
All fat, no bone,
Down by the Parl - i - ment.

Comrade Bulganin and Comrade K

B. O Comrade Kruschev, O Comrade Kruschev
Don't you think this bunch is very bourgeoisie?
Don't you find them very flat, very proletariat,
Don't you feel that they're not quite our cup of tea

K. Comrade Bulganin, Comrade Bulganin,
Please remember that they've asked us out to stay
Though we may not like their views
We can still knock back their booze
Aren't I right Comrade Bulganin?
B. Aren't you always Comrade K.?

Kruschev
Comrade Bulganin, Comrade Bulganin,
Please remember that we must be polite.
Tho' we may not like these rats
We must smile and doff our hats
And pretend the East and West can now unite.

Bulganin
O Comrade Kruschev, O Comrade Kruschev,
With all you say you know I will agree.
You're much smarter than the best of the leaders in the West
Aren't I right dear Comrade Kruschev?

Kruschev
Aren't you always Comrade B.!

Bulganin
O Comrade Kruschev, O Comrade Kruschev,
Aren't you ever worried in these trips out West
—The booing mixed with cheers is most baffling to my ears
And I'm always glad I brought my bomb-proof vest.

Kruschev
Comrade Bulganin, Comrade Bulganin.
Don't be worried by the way this rabble bray
—They can never do us in
For we're charmed like Rasputin
Aren't I right Comrade Bulganin?

Bulganin
Aren't you always Comrade K.?

Kruschev
Comrade Bulganin, Comrade Bulgain,
If you're drinking vodka please don't be too swift.
For you're not a pretty sight when you're absolutely tight
And you're quite a weight for the poor guards to lift.

Bulganin
O Comrade Kruschev, O Comrade Kruschev,
Surely we can have a little jollity
And women song and wine
Is the perfect party line
—Aren't I right dear Comrade Kruschev?

Kruschev
... I'll let you know Comrade B.

Party Line

Gaylord and Crooks
O ye'll take the Marx line, and I'll take the Red Line,
And we'll be in cabinet together,
Then me and my comrades will justify our acts,
With the empty, empty words of Homburgers.

The importers groan, the retailers moan,
'Cos the banks squeeze tight for no reason,
So me and my comrades will socialise the Land,
And jail all the Tories for treason.

Chorus
The prices are rising, the costs are increasing,
The wages have dropt with a thump,
So me and my comrades will subsidise their fate
With a bonnie bonnie gift of a slump.

The mauve of National, the pink of Labour
Will change to a shade of bright red,
Yes, me and my comrades will Leninise the land
And govern the place from our beds.
