I can sure see why those were considered racy lyrics in the 1930s, Victor. Thanks for the humorous throw back!
ReplyDeleteBlessings!
Times change, Martha ... compared to today's lyrics.
DeleteGod bless you.
Dearest Victor,
ReplyDeleteThat could as well be God himself, looking at the present world...

DeleteLOL-ing ... thanks for the big smiles, Victor. (Great instrumentals, too!)
ReplyDeleteGeorge Formby used to play the banjo when singing. Very popular in his time.

Yep, a little racey for 1936 to 1960, soon all stops were removed....
ReplyDeleteThanks for the entertainment.
Sherry & jack
Yes the 60s onwards was a new era for the world!

It's tamed compared to today.

That was fun! Maybe i need to write new lyrics, when i'm cleanin' houses!
ReplyDeleteYes, that would be a brilliant song, Mimi. Use the same tune with new lyrics. Sing it and put it on You Tube.
DeleteGod bless.
I need a window cleaner. Really need one.
ReplyDeleteI'll ask George Formby to call round.
DeleteGod bless, Susan.
Thank you for the light-hearted entertainment. That didn't sound particularly risque to me, but this is almost a century later. Blessings, my friend
ReplyDeleteIt shows how things change over time, Nells. Now lyrics, and the appearance on stage of many singers, is totally different.
DeleteGood bless.
That was very funny. I've never heard it before :)
ReplyDeleteVery famous in its day.
DeleteGod bless, River.
