FROM: Sturgess, Frances Coulter TO:[log in to unmask] SUBJECT: Do your ears... DATE: 02-28-97 18:10 EST PRIORITY: Have not got thru all the posts past 2/23, so maybe someone already said this, but---the "original" (bawdy or not--and with soldiers, it probably was)dates back at least to Colonial times or may have been sung about the French by the British even before that--I believe a COntinental Soldier was part of G. Washingtons army. It shows up in the CUb Scout songbook too, with the notation to be sung to "Turkey in the Straw", a folk tune/folkdance. Can you see a bunch of folks in the mall, though, strutting their stuff and breastfeeding, singing.... Do your breasts hang low, do they wobble to and fro Can you tie them in a knot, can you tie them in a bow can you throw them over your shoulder NUrse in PUblic! LEts be BOlder Do your breasts hang low.... or somthing--the song is so old its in the public domain, no copyright issues, someone else might have a better rhyme...
