Subject: Query on bawd



Given the raucous nature of some of my colleagues on this list, I

suppose this is as good a place as any to post this query. Probably

better than average.



An elderly lady friend (former university regent, fercryingoutloud)

Asks me some of the strangest questions. Here is her latest:



Are the following lines from a music-hall song, and what are the missing

lines, represented by ta-da-da-da-DA?



This is my daughter, Sir,

Can't hold her water, Sir,

Whenever she laughs, Sir, she peas!



Ta-da-da-da-DA,

Ta-da-da-da-DA,

There she goes again, Sir, Please!





Cheers,

Thomas L. Clark
