Looks like the Ben Colder Songbook contents page.

I knew an organist in Columbus (OH) who sang somewhat irreverent
hymns. Two of his favorites were "Drop Kick Me, Jesus, Through The
Goal Posts Of Life" and "I Kicked The Dog That ****ed On Jesus'
Cross".

I liked anything by Oscar Brand.

Sounds like a vers from Greensleeves.

I kissed her lips,
I smelled her rose.
She crossed her legs,
And she broke my nose.

Aw c'mon JOAT - you just looked that list up - what about, "What do
you do with a drunken sailor"?

How 'bout, "Big John", (jimmy dean version only).

What about, "Honky Tonkin'", by Hank.

How 'bout, "Sixteen Tons", by Tennessee Earnie.

And the inevitably dualized, "I'm Goin' To Jackson", (i'm of the
waylon/dolly persuasion offa the live album).

THE NORTH ATLANTIC SQUADRON

cho: Away, away, with fyfe and drum,
Here we come, full of rum,
Looking for women to pat on the bum
In the North Atlantic Squadron.

The firefighters have lots of fire,
They never, never seem to tire
Of pulling their hose, and pulling their wire
In the North Atlantic Squadron.

The service police are a bunch of sluts,
They should be hung up by their nuts,
A bunch of hicks from out of the sticks
In the North Atlantic Squadron.

Into the mess we go to sup,
A dirty plate, a dirty cup,
The cooks should ****ing well smarten up
In the North Atlantic Squadron.

The wireless boys they fly so high,
I wish to hell that they would die,
Their da da dits give us the ****s
In the North Atlantic Squadron.

When we were ten miles out to sea
The Pilot started buggery
His only joy was the wireless boy
In the North Atlantic Squadron.

The One Six One crew Number Four,
Went out one night to find a whore;
Their only hope was a nanny goat
In the North Atlantic Squadron.

When in Vera Cruz we touched,
We found that Kingston whores were such,
That when open wide you could put inside
The North Atlantic Squadron.

In Newfoundland when it got hot,
We used to fornicate a lot,
Only the fools would be pulling their tools
In the North AtLantic Squadron.

The native girls are all misfits,
They have no teeth, they have no tits,
No wonder they give us the ****s
In the North Atlantic Squadron.

The sergeants they are on the bit,
Giving tbe ACs lots of ****.
After the war their throats we'll slit
In the North Atlantic Squadron.

In Gaspe it rained all the time,
The sun was never known to shine,
The fog was so thick you could set it in bricks
In the North Atlantic Squadron.

The officers they know **** all,
As up the CO's arse they crawl.
What do they get but sweet **** all
In the North Atlantic Squadron.

The civvies in the Ferry Command
Are always jerking off by hand.
They're the ****ing scourge of this fair land
In the North Atlantic Squadron.

The Ferry Command from Montreal,
What do they bring but sweet **** all.
Whatever the date, they're always late
In the North Atlantic Squadron.

The American boys we do admire,
They fly through **** and snow and fire,
They never never seem to tire
In the North Atlantic Squadron.

By Ottawa we're really stumped,
You know they are a bunch of ****s;
Their nuts should be nailed to the nearest stump
In the North Atlantic Squadron.

If I had a girl and she were mine
Upon her arse I'd paint a sign-
"Try this for size, it's really fine"
In the North Atlantic Squadron

The works and bricks are a bunch of pricks,
They feed the fire with wood and sticks;
They leave us all in a hell of a fix
In the North Atlantic Squadron.

The Northern Electric put up poles;
They should be shoved up their arseholes.
They stay inside when it is cold
In the North Atlantic Squadron.

The medical corps are a bunch of whores,
They should be hung up by their drawers.
They give you pills and you **** for hours
In the North Atlantic Squadron.

The ****ing discips give us the pips,
All of them are full of ****.
From arsehole to breakfast they should be slit
In the North Atlantic Squadron.

The dear old WAAFs, I hope they'll come,
And then we'll pat them on the bum;
And in the bushes our work will be done
In the North Atlantic Squadron.

There was a girl from Montreal,
She spread her legs from wall to wall.
With every jump I made her call
For the North Atlantic Squadron.

The RAF are on the bit,
Giving Hitler lots of ****,
And after the war they'll talk about it
And the North Atlantic Squadron.

In Labrador we used to sit,
In the mess and shoot the ****,
With ****all to do but swallow it
In the North Atlantic Squadron.

The boys from stores went out to ****,
Their streams and spray they went amiss-
They said that they could drown with this
The North Atlantic Squadron.

Those MT men are reckless birds,
They roar around like crazy turds.
They smash up trucks with very few words
In the North Atlantic Squadron.

The girls of Gaspe town are bags,
They always seem to wear their rags;
And if they don't, their pussy sags
From the North Atlantic Squadron.

A lazy crowd are the ******* clerks,
They **** around like a bunch of jerks.
They **** around but they never work
In the North Atlantic Squadron.

The aircrew boys they all had chills,
They took some green artillery pills;
They **** from Yarmouth to Gander Hills
In the North Atlantic Squadron.

-- Andy Barss

The world today seems absolutely crackers,
With nuclear bombs to blow us all sky high.
There's fools and idiots sitting on the trigger.
It's depressing and it's senseless, and that's why...
I like Chinese.
I like Chinese.
They only come up to your knees,
Yet they're always friendly, and they're ready to please.

I like Chinese.
I like Chinese.
There's nine hundred million of them in the world today.
You'd better learn to like them; that's what I say.

I like Chinese.
I like Chinese.
They come from a long way overseas,
But they're cute and they're cuddly, and they're ready to please.

I like Chinese food.
The waiters never are rude.
Think of the many things they've done to impress.
There's Maoism, Taoism, I Ching, and Chess.

So I like Chinese.
I like Chinese.
I like their tiny little trees,
Their Zen, their ping-pong, their yin, and yang-ese.

I like Chinese thought,
The wisdom that Confucious taught.
If Darwin is anything to shout about,
The Chinese will survive us all without any doubt.

So, I like Chinese.
I like Chinese.
They only come up to your knees,
Yet they're wise and they're witty, and they're ready to please.

All together.

[verse in Chinese]
Wo ai zhongguo ren. (I like Chinese.)
Wo ai zhongguo ren. (I like Chinese.)
Wo ai zhongguo ren. (I like Chinese.)
Ni hao ma; ni hao ma; ni hao ma; zaijien! (How are you; how are you;
how are you; goodbye!)

I like Chinese.
I like Chinese.
Their food is guaranteed to please,
A fourteen, a seven, a nine, and lychees.

I like Chinese.
I like Chinese.
I like their tiny little trees,
Their Zen, their ping-pong, their yin, and yang-ese.

I like Chinese.
I like Chinese.
They only come up to your knees...

"What do you do with a drunken sailor?
What do you do with a drunken sailor?
What do you do with a drunken sailor?
Throw him in the ocean!"

Or at least that's the way my grandmother sang it. She was a real great
gal, from a harbor town on the coast of Nothern Calif.

There could be other versions, of course.

Yeah ... most anything by Horton ... I was just now listening to Battle

But who sang the "Ballad of Little Jimmie Brown" (mewspaper boy)? I was
SURE it was Horton but I can't find anything linking him with that title.

Jimmy Brown, The Newsboy
A.P.Carter

I sell the morning papers sir my name is Jimmy Brown
Everybody knows that I'm the newsboy of the town
You will hear me yelling "Morning Star" as I run along the street
I have no hat upon my head no shoes upon my feet

Never mind sir how I look don't look at me and frown
I sell the morning papers sir my name is Jimmy Brown
I'm awful cold and hungry sir my clothes are torn and thin
I wander 'bout from place to place my daily bread to win

My father died a drunkard sir I've heard my mother say
I am helping mother sir as I journey on my way
My mother always tells me sir there's nothing in the world to lose
I'll get a place in heaven sir to sell the Gospel News

FLATT & SCRUGGS - Greatest Hits

I don't recall a Flatt & Scruggs record ever coming into our house.

"How much is that fleabag in the window ...
the one with the long mangy tail?
How much is that fleabag in the window,
I wonder if that mutt's for sale"

In 1814 we took a little trip
Along with Colonel Jackson
Down the mighty Mississipp

We took a little bacon
And we took a little beans
And fought the bloody British
In a town called New Orleans

We fired our guns and the British kept a a'comin'
There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago
We fired once more and they began a'runnin'
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico

That was named "Jimmy Brown, The Newsboy" and was Mac Wiseman.

"Little Jimmy Brown", aka "The Three Bells", was by Jim Ed Brown ... and was
the very FIRST national Country Music "Number 1 Hit", out of Nashville in
1959.

It it was Christmas time one of my old time favorites is Rudolph
The Ruptured Reindeer. But this is a family group and we've got some of
the too tight people here so I won't post the lyrics.

However one of my other old time favorites is Ole Slew Foot.

A Google search brings up links saying it was the Carter family.
