THE BAWDY HOUSE			DK
(Sung to "The Ball at Kerrymuir" (traditional Irish song) as performed by Jim Croce)

Four and twenty virgins came down from Inverness.
And when the night was over there were four and twenty less.

CHORUS:
	(Singin') Yer balls to yer partner,
	Yer ass against the wall;
	If you've never been out to the bawdy house,
	You've never been out at all.

There's various amusements and things to see and do.
Escapades and parlor games and even a petting zoo.

CHORUS

Who the best man really is.

CHORUS

A gang of raiders sacked the place, which raised the locals' ire.
But they forgot:  it's rape then burn, so they perished in the fire.

CHORUS

The village magician he was there; he gave us all a laugh
He pulled his foreskin over his head and he vanished up his ass.

CHORUS

Farmer Giles was there, sickle in his hand.
Every time he swung around, he circumcised the band.

There was doin's on the porches, and doin's on the stones.
You couldna' hear the music for the loud and joyful moans!..

The local Cavaliers were there, in elegance they sat.
A-doin' Things Unusual with the feathers in their hat!..
